Monument record TR 26 NE 1218 - Possible pillbox plotted on Second World War Luftwaffe reconnaissance map
Summary
In the late 1930s and early 1940s the German air force carried our aerial reconnaissance of British defences. They identified a number of sites of possible military nature and depicted them on a 1940 map. The map was at 1:50,000 scale, however, and reflects the uncertain nature of the Germans' information. The map included a possible pillbox plotted here.
