Monument record LWT 079 - Two World War II pillboxes adjacent to railway line, surrounded by barbed wire, dismantled by 1941.

Two type 26 square pillboxes can be seen at TM54329624 and TM54359623 on 1940 aerial photographs (S1). They have associated linear features - possibly trenches or additonal parts of the structure. The pillboxes are situated on either side of a railway line, and each appears to be surrounded by barbed wire, which buts up to the railway line. The pillboxes can also be seen on 1941 aerial photographs (S2), but the surrounding barbed wire is no longer visible, presumably having been dismantled. The possible trench features associated with the pillboxes can just about be seen in these photos. The same can be said of 1944 photographs (S3).
