A cunningly disguised pillbox in Blackpool.

Cunning or what? Allegedly, the railway Home Guard would've manned it. It's built into the brickwork of the railway bridge, and I had drivn under it for years until I finally got out and stopped and looked properly. I was looking for a "standard" octagonal Type 22 pillbox. This was much more cunning.

The second photograph shows the north facing side of the bridge, and therre is t'pillbox. Good eh?

good set of pictures you,ve got there russell love that pillbox, amazing what turns up??

excellent! youd be a bit buggered against a tank blowing the bottom out but excellent camo

Indeed there is; Mick from the Haworth lot has just found another pillbox in Leeds that he didn't know about and he's driven past it loads of times! There's probably a Spigot Mortar post or pillbox somewhere near you that you don't know about.
