Full Description

A possible square pillbox of World War II date can be seen between some houses at Felixstowe Ferry, on photographs taken in 1944 and 1945. It appears to have been constructed some time after July 1940, although it is hard to tell as the area of the photograph in question (S1) is over-exposed. (S2) (S3)
The structure had been demolished by August 1948.
See FEX 151 and FEX 152 for similar pillboxes at Felixstowe Ferry.
