Anti Landing Obstacle

1988 The A428 Bedford Road had been improved shortly before WW2, creating a long stretch of wide, concrete road to the N of Brafield-on-the-Green. In order to prevent enemy aircraft from landing, a long chain was suspended across the road between two large ash trees, but above the height of road traffic. The ash tree on the W side remains. The device was situated on the parish boundary between Brafield and Little Houghton.
