Full Description
Contemporary records state, "Pillbox. Between O.S. Nos. 629, 631 adj. S. bank of river, Castle Park Grounds. Map ref. 448451" (Mil. Ed.).<1>
The fence that runs S from the R. Colne along the E edge of the castle grounds runs between OS Nos. 631 on the W and 629 on the E. The pillbox must have stood somewhere on this boundary possibly where there is a tarmac covered area between a path and the fence.
The map ref. is clearly incorrect and should have read 448441.
