Dagenham Anti Tank Cylinders

17 September 202217 September 2022 By Joe Mander

Built close to Dagenham East Station, these anti-tank cylinders were built in World War Two to slow down any German tanks, should they have made it that far.

The row of these concrete defences can be seen on Google Maps and spans over 80 metres, with a Type 22 pillbox at the eastern end.

On top of the cylinders are metal hooks – cables would have linked the whole row together.
