The remains of the concrete structure half way along the last section of the West bank path are part of a First World War observation post, which was let as holiday accommodation by a Mr Annis up until 1942. It was furnished, and people would sunbathe on the flat roof. When the military moved in during WW2 to use the marsh as the tank firing range, Mr Annis was very reluctant to give up the blockhouse. Apparently, he was persuaded to do so when the Army fired a few high explosive shells into the air.
