Cliffe Six Bells Pub & Anti-Tank Defences

In the heart of the village of Cliffe is the Six Bells public house. It was renamed from the Black Bull which might have been one of the oldest beer-houses in Cliffe, dating back to the eighteenth century. The current pub remains a great-looking building and appears to be of late Victorian or Edwardian origin.

In the car park nearby, several Second World War anti-tank cones, or pimples, can be seen. These concrete blocks would have halted, or at least slowed down, any German tanks if they successfully made it onto British soil.
