 Description of Tank Traps

The tank traps at Stockton Beach are slowly been covered by sand.
The traps were put along Stockton Beach to stop the invasion during WW2.
The traps have been a popular spot to go to when on Stockton Beach but are getting harder to find because they are being covered by the sand. A strong wind in the right direction might cover them up or just might expose them to what they were.
