Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Access track. The brick shuttered concrete pillbox (Type FW3/26) seen at right was erected during 1940/41 for the use of 5th Bn Royal Norfolk Regiment section post as part of the coastal crust defences. Defence of Britain database ID: S0001032
This track turns off the A149 (Sheringham Road), providing access to cottages on the headland further to the north (seen in the distance at left). It leads past > 748886 and connects with the Norfolk Coast Path/Peddars Way. In the adjacent fields there are a number of brick pillboxes such as the one seen here at right. In an effort to prevent an anticipated German invasion, a network of defences, the most common being so-called pillboxes, was constructed in 1940 at strategic points, along rivers and canals, as well as along the coast and on airfields. It is estimated that less than 6,000 of a total of 28,000 pillboxes still survive. http://www.pillboxesuk.co.uk/ |
