Muy curioso motivo. La fotografía con el paisaje de fondo queda hermosa.
La gente tiene tiempo para estas construcciones. ¿Será un nuevo diseño o se hundió?.

Amelia ^club

A rather ornate pillbox, Roger; obviously with a facing of local stone. There is one on the beach in Norfolk, brick-built and not so attractive, which has fallen off the cliff because of erosion.

4 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you Amelia, a little farther along the ridge a box stands as original with no subsidence at all.

Am I right in assuming that this old bunker was built in this way and didn't sink down on one side… ?

4 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to ©UdoSm ^club

No I am afraid not Udo it was level at one time but time and tide have had an effect.

tiabunna ^club

An intriguing old bunker, Roger. All I've ever seen have been boring concrete, the stonework gives this one style.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Many thanks George, great camouflage both from sea and air but most locally are built from brick

Keith Burton ^club

What a great find! I love the stonework in that old bunker and it must have been quite big before it started sinking. I'm guessing it was built with local stone.................and now it's being taken back from whence it came..!!

A fascinating shot with a very attractive backdrop Roger!

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Really nice comments Keith, Thank you,
Nature has a way of reclaiming and over the years I have watched and photographed the old box slowly sinking

Peter_Private_Box ^club

Hi Roger

What a great find!! The leaning tower of Porlock!
Although I suppose we can assume its designer didn't reckon on more than a few years of use, so no need for deep pile foundations! Such savings all contribute to the war effort!

Best wishes, and a good weekend
Peter

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

I suspect it was just built on a concrete slab that the sea has undermined but it has had a good run and maybe the sea will spit it back out at some point in the future, appreciate your comments Peter, thank you.

I used to have an interest in Pill boxes and could recognise the purpose they were designed for. Machine Gun, Anti Aircraft and so on, but this one ! Lunar observation perhaps.!!!
