Full Description
Contemporary records state, "Pillbox. East Street Pavement, near Rose and Crown. Map ref. 457436." and "Pillbox. Site of demolished houses Nos. 53, 54, 55 and 56, East Street." <1>
Although the pillbox cannot be seen on an aerial photograph taken in 1946 there is a large gap between No. 57 East Street and the Rose and Crown public house and the pillbox must have stood in this position from where it would have been facing the railway level crossing 100 yards eastward.<2>
The area is now a shrubbery.
