Pillbox, just outside Grantham.

[HughieD]

Just searching through old negs and came across this pillbox that is situated somewhere outside of Grantham. Had a real good search on the net and it's not where I thought it was (near Skillington). Hence I'm at a loss where this one is. Rich...as our resident pillbox expert any ideas?

Can't be the exact same one Rich, there are "blown" bricks on Hughie's photos that are intact on yours and vice-versa.

The other buildings are intriguing, a BCF hut and a TB structure.

Actually on close inspection you are right. Will revisit the negs to see if the pictures taken before and after these shed any light on the location(s).
