SHALFORD ROAD BLOCKS

SHALFORD, SURREY

TIM DENTON

NGR: TQ 000475

This angled wedge shaped concrete roadblock is at Grid Reference TQ000475 and is located alongside the `Seahorse` Public House at Shalford in Surrey on the A281 Guildford to Horsham Road.

It has a slot in it to take a wooden barrier which would have stretched across the road to another similar block now no longer in existence. A plaque was mounted upon it some time ago commemorating the Roadblock as a `last ditch defence for the GHQ line against German invasion during the summer of 1940`. Unfortunately, the plaque is now in poor condition.
