Full Description
There was a Second World War pillbox on St Thomas’ Hill, Canterbury.  This was pillbox No.3 in the 1940 list of pillboxes in East Kent (2 December); it was in Sector 7 of the area, at the stated Military Grid reference R 574774.  It was probably at or near the road junction with Neal’s Place Road, defending the north-western approach to Canterbury.  Oddly it was just outside the major roadblock on this approach, which adjoined St Edmund's School.
