Full Description
A low-level aerial photograph taken in 1948 shows an hexagonal pillbox, with its entrance on the NW face, on the S side of Colne Bank Avenue. This position is some 30 yards W of the bridge across the river.<1>
This area is now the junction of Colne Bank Avenue and Westway and a large roundabout has absorbed the position of the pillbox.
