A quick one on the way home from work....

Quoted from Archaeology Data Service
"Rectangular pillbox; brick-shuttered, facing south over railway and overlooking bridge to west. Located on edge of transport service depot which may have had its origin as a WW2 depot."

Nice and relatively un chavved

That seems really tiny. Don't recall seeing one like that before. I like the embrasures...not seen any like that either! :mrgreen:

Nice find!

Good little find mate,right under our noses "all"the time.According to a guy at work the adjacent depot had a military use in WW2 and was used by Rolls Royce hence the need for some defences.

Amazingly good condition for saying where it is :lol:

Thanks boys and girls, as always it's not the size of your pillbox......it's what you do with it that counts! :mrgreen:
