From the May 19, 2012, Swindon (UK) Advertiser "WWII tank traps destroyed in bridge work" by Scott D'Arcy.
Three monolithic concrete structures were destroyed in Swindon. They had been part of the GHQ (General Headquarters Line) Line set up as a last line of defense from a perceived imminent German attack on the British mainland.
Construction crews were working on a bridge in town.They were too big to be removed and were too close to the new bridge. they were photographed and recorded before they were destroyed.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
