The exterior view from the south showcases its sturdy structure and strategic positioning. The image transports us back in time to an era when these concrete fortifications played a crucial role in safeguarding England's shores against potential enemy invasions. Pillboxes like DP188407 were strategically placed along the coastline to provide protection and surveillance against maritime threats.
