Titchwell Tanks Winch House

Between 1942 and 1945, Titchwell was used by the Royal Tank Regiment as a firing range. A special concrete road was built to bring tanks onto the site. Shells rained down on the hulks of tanks, while instructors kept score from a watchtower. The tank gunners practised by firing blank shells at targets attached to wire cables pulled across what is now a freshwater marsh and a brackish marsh.
