I was thinking about making this into a report but then realised that it would have been a bit naff.


Telacra norcom pillbox. Time is a cruel mistress that's been particularly had on this poor pipe with holes in it.


And another norcon. Better condition but I think it could do with more leg room.


And get another norcon. That's slightly better but still needs some work.


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.

Found a few pillboxes whilst mooching around Redcar this week.


This example at Gare Sands has suffered over the years.


I believe that this is a type FW3/23.


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.


Inside there are some metal hooked brackets. Any idea what these might be for?


View from on the bank behind.


An unusual design with some brick facing.


I am told that the concrete blocks to one side may be for mounting anti-aircraft weapons.
