Just a couple of pics of a Pill box thats near to where i live. I cant believe ive lived within 2 miles of this all my life and never new it was here. Anybody coming to this part of the country would have passed it aswell unknowingly. Theres a coulpe more in the area which i will photograph and post on here once ive done the visits. The Pill box had about 5inchs of water inside, so didnt attempt to enter it. It looks very tidy and with no Graffiti.

Is this anywhere near a little place called Cwmduad (???) being up that way on business years ago I saw the remians of a stop line stretching either side of the road with large concrete tank obstacles and a pillbox sited every 2 to 300 hundred yards ...................I did bit of research at the time and remember finding out it was part of the Cambrian Coast stop line system..................just wondering if thats still there ????????????????

cheers ...like those old boxs .very atmospheric...............

Hi Smiffy. No this Isnt near Cwmduad. From what i know there are only 3 Pillbox's that remain in the whole of Pembrokeshire. This one is by itself and i dont think was part of a larger stop-line? Hope this helps.

Oooh! Nice one.

Love reports from where I grew up,thanks.

Me and tommyramone have this close to the top of the 'To Do in Pembs' list,but living in Oxfordshire kind of restricts visiting opportunites.

Can't begin to imagine how many times I have driven passed this coming into town. Tried to get at it once from the road side (up the bank,thru the hedge,etc) but at the time "I was very,very drunk". :mrgreen:
