Mark, did you see the 3 Anti-tank cylinders next to Billy's Bridge on the Leeds to Liverpool Canal, about 100yds away from this pillbox?

The pillbox thread.
I was thinking about making this into a report but then realised that it would have been a bit naff.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2780/...1e6fcb7e_o.jpg Telacra norcom pillbox. Time is a cruel mistress that's been particularly had on this poor pipe with holes in it. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4028/...01c0bdac_o.jpg And another norcon. Better condition but I think it could do with more leg room. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/...b3ef95bb_o.jpg And get another norcon. That's slightly better but still needs some work. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/...61057e79_o.jpg Anti glider steaks. There are quite a lot of these that you have to be careful of when your bombing up and down the beach on a kite buggy. |
Not sure on type of pill box but this is one of 4 that I know of on the estuary between Anglesey and Holyhead.

Nice nice Jim, ya got there 1st and posted the one on the beech at Talcra. DOH! |
Found a few pillboxes whilst mooching around Redcar this week. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ar124-1-10.jpg This example at Gare Sands has suffered over the years. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...r1a24-1-10.jpg I believe that this is a type FW3/23. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ce124-1-10.jpg This one is a bit odd. The sea is some way behind the mound at the rear of the pillbox and the firing slits look rather large. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ce224-1-10.jpg Inside there are some metal hooked brackets. Any idea what these might be for? http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ce324-1-10.jpg View from on the bank behind. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ce624-1-10.jpg An unusual design with some brick facing. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ce524-1-10.jpg I am told that the concrete blocks to one side may be for mounting anti-aircraft weapons. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...ce424-1-10.jpg |
Hope i got it this time. Pillboxes burscough canal.
