Summary
[edit]DescriptionWWII pillbox (Type FW3-22) - geograph.org.uk - 764676.jpg |
English: WWII pillbox (Type FW3/22) Part of the ground defences of the RAF Swannington airfield; reference no S0005569 in the Defence of Britain database. Same as 454695 - 528599, viewed from the southeast; in a small area seen to the right of the entrance the outer wall, the brick shuttering is still adhering to the concrete. The brick exterior covering was used as a mould in which to pour the concrete. Inside the pillbox has a central anti-ricochet wall.
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/ |
