Blockhouse in village

This photo was taken in May 1946 when the road to the shore was being contructed, but it shows one blockhouse in the village that I have not seen in other photos. It is now the bus turning circle. There is another square building overlooking the river by the pub, but I am unsure what it was. It is interesting to note how low the floodbank was.

A great photo, so interesting as we were only in the pub the other day!

Fascinating photo. This blockhouse can be seen in the distance in the sister picture photo 18 'Building the shore road' It must have been removed when the old bus turning circle was moved from its position in front of the pub (still visible in part today) by the other square building above.
