Nothing to get too excited about but came across a couple of WWII pillboxes on my hols in Norfolk.

The first was on the beach at Caister just up the coast from Great Yarmouth. It looked like it was regularly taking a bit of a battering from the sea:

The second was set a bit back from the beach at Cley Near The Sea, between Blakeney and Cromer on the North coast. Less photogenic this flatter pillbox also appeared to have no door to access the defence.
