Pillboxes and Shelters (Visited 2012)-2013

[The Elusive]

StaffordShire has a wealth of miltary stuffs dotted around the place, I cant seem to go on a walk these days without finding some evidence of our past dotted around the place; thought I'd share some my discoveries....

Brick pillbox, Still in good condition side of layby near cannock chase. This pillbox was here as the nearby bridge is one of the few in the country that had the capability of taking the weight of the tanks.

Ivy shot!

The net one is Pillbox ~22 I believe, hexagonal pillbox with central concrete section to help with ricochet.

This ones near newport and easily visible from the ode' google earth

Then i found a sealed sunken pillbox and out building.. which was the first ever fail I found

Then.... Testament to how "SPECIAL" I am te hee i walk past an allotments all the time and i thought that at the side of it was an old brick BBQ....

Not a bbq..

Writing on the door

I know horses for courses but if you look close lots to see even down to the old graffiti
