Two large concrete blocks by the side of Warrington Road in Mickle Trafford. They are probably the remains of a Road Block or are Tanks traps in their own right. It is unkown if they are in their original position, however due to their large size it seems unlikely that they have been moved far. They could have been used to block this main road into Chester during World War Two, with one either side of the road holding a steel girder
