Full Description
Contemporary records state, "Pillbox. O.S. No. 635, at Choppings Mill, adj. Castle Park. Map ref. 445440" (Mil. Ed.). OS Field No.635 is immediately N of Middle Mill bridge. In addition is the entry, "Pillbox. Footpath, Middle Mill Bridge". Map ref. illegible, possibly 445443.<1>
It is possible that these entries refer to the same pillbox which may have stood on the footpath immediately N of the bridge. However, there is no sign of it on an aerial photograph taken in 1946.<2>
