A lot of Canadian forces were based in Sussex, and the Downs above Falmer, Brighton and Ringmer were used for tank training - some of the military roads still survive. The broad curve of the pavement and the tubular steel barrier are peculiar to a few Sussex seaside towns, especially Brighton, but why take a tank into the middle of the town?
