Sir, - Local wartime defences were often made by the Home Guard.
Two possible examples exist, one a gun slit in Skeeby (pictured above) and a sole surviving concrete block (left), possibly as part of a road block, between Brompton-on-Swale and Broken Brea, near Richmond.
I would appreciate confirmation of these and any further information on the organisation of home defences in Richmondshire. My telephone number is 01748 818703.
