Full Description

A square concrete building of World War II date was constructed some time between July 1940 and April 1944. It appears to be too big to be a pillbox but its proximity to what appear to be residential buildings could suggest it was an air raid shelter. (S1) (S2)
It was removed between October 1945 and August 1948.
