I remember the blocks well and Billcon's description of that part of Bondicar with the tank trap, the pill boxes and (a bit farther away) the three tanks brought back a lot of memories. I've found this picture of my Dad using some of the blocks, still in position, as a wind shield while he boiled the kettle. These ones were near the "cundy" which was one of our favourite play places. The "cundy" was where the burn passed under the road at Bondicar and came out on the sands. It has been rebuilt and some of the blocks have been used as a barrier to protect it against the spring tides.
