Stage 4 - Hard Standings
Looking along Rectory Road from this point concrete can be seen along the right hand side. Known as ‘hard standings’ these areas were where heavy vehicles and artillery pieces (canon/guns) would be parked. The ‘hard standings’ continue around the corner but have since been covered over.
