Need my pillbox fix from time-to-time and North Norfolk didn't disappoint!
No.1 - This one is on the Beach at Brancaster next to Golf Club House.

This unique irregular hexagonal pillbox is all locked up but in pretty good nick.

There's also a spigot mortar pedestal next to it:

No.2 - This tidy type FW3/22 can be found at a road junction just south of Little Walsingham.

No.3 - This well-tended FW3/22 is just north of Swanton Novers. The commemorative plaque on the pillbox's front wall was a very poignant touch.

No.4 - And the best for last. This pristine Vickers MG Pillbox is just to the right of the road leading to the beach at Holkham.
