Full Description
Square pillbox.
The recorder visited the site in 1996 and was not given access by a security guard. The guard described a small square pillbox which he said had been demolished in late 1995. It was located close to a former railway which passed by a number of mills.
B. Lowry thinks this was a police post rather than a pillbox. (1) (2)
