Description
Site of Second World War pillbox, now destroyed.
It is reliably reported that a pillbox once stood at Map ref. 709406 (Mil.Ed. ), "Old Lifeboat Sta." <1>
It appears most likely that the pillbox stood on the very point of the promontory outside the old lifeboat station. Something can be seen here on February 1941 and, less clearly, on July 1946 aerial photographs, but nothing identifiable. <2> <3>
