Not much remains on this stretch of coastline.First is a standard 3 bay pillbox facing inland (e11810) just N of Anderby Creek.Flooded inside so internals are through the embrasures

On to Chapel St Leonards where we could find no remains of the coastal battery e14947 but the gun emplacement e07594 on Chapel point is still there although access to the interior is sealed off.(Note to Capt on this one.Local chap said that the guns were left on this one for a while after the war and they used to play there as kids.The one marked to the N e07291 mentions this maybe they are the same one ?He also mentioned when it was open there were bunks and suchlike still inside)

Into Skegness in the dunes to the north an observation post e07413 The entrance is blocked now and I'm not sure if the paved bit behind it was part of it
