Visited here hoping for permission to do the pillboxes around the perimeter no chance once we met up with Mr Jobsworth but we managed to do a couple of shelters and boxes on the way out.First up was PILLBOX (TYPE FW3/24): S0000673 this is on the restaurant car park that Mr R Head had no say about and is freely accessable
Description: 29/04/1995 Hexagonal, brick skin inside and out on concrete platform. Concrete lintels and embrasures which are stepped. Y' shaped concrete pillar. [The pillbox has been repaired and is now used as a memorial to WW2, various plaques are attached to the pillbox].
Considering the work thats gone into restoring it its been left to flood and the plaques are getting no care whatsoever
