Description
Bibliographic reference, 1968
Contemporary records state, “Erection of pill-box. Great Holland Green, Great Holland.” <1>
The small recreational green at Great Holland lies to the north of the village on the forked junction between Kirby Road and Pork Lane. There is no sign of a pillbox now but it probably stood on the southern tip of the triangle of the green from where it would have been able to cover an approach along any of the three arms of the junction.
