Information

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.
