Full Description
Contemporary records state, "Pillbox at entrance. Bridge House, Fordstreet, Grounds in front of house." This pillbox can be seen on the triangle formed by the entrance from the road, on an aerial photograph taken in 1946. It is too indistinct for its type to be determined but, from its small size, may have been an FW3/22.<1><2><3>
