Jailhouse pillbox and shelters (visited 2014)

[The Elusive]

This place has been done frequently so I wont go mad and make yet another report on the place! The pillbox however was really fascinating (to me anyway ) Id never been in one with an entrance like that and was informed it maybe the last one on the site. I did a scour of the place looking for them, to no avail but I didnt search every nook and cranny, so they may be lurking

The shelters also were a new experience for me as most Ive visited have been underground and completely different shapes to these ones; Id never seen any with beds in or with evidence of power so I really enjoyed going in every one of these for a mooch

Cant beat a good old Pillbox.

You picked a good day for a wander, looking at the weather in the snaps.

Smashing.

Thanks guys I had never been featherstone before so I was in awe of the size of the place it had everything! including some kids on a motorbike who wanted to show me bits id missed and the smell of wet spray paint wandered through the place !
