Krypton did a report last September on a pillbox at the top of Crimdon Dene [ame]http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=13376[/ame] and it didn't look like an ordinary pillbox. Well I had a look at it today and I can confirm that it is actually not a pillbox but a SECTION POST
It is positioned facing inland to protect the railway viaduct at the mouth of the dene.

One of the entrances - looks like someone has been digging it out

Cheers for looking

The entrances would have looked like this

This is down at Greatham Creek on Teeside but they are not my photo's. I am going to get down there when the weather gets a bit better.
