It wasnt just a pillbox though....



Simon Gooderham, director at auctioneer Cheffins said: "The two-and-a-quarter acres of woodland that made up the lot, includes the pillbox, an old railway carriage converted into a shed, and a former chalk pit.

The Good Life

Get some glass in the 'windows' fix the door, install a small petrol genny and a camping gas cooker etc, like to see the council evict you for breaching planning regs

The fortified pillboxes made ideal fortresses for armed British soldiers to see off the threat of Nazi troops.

Yeah, RIGHT. It should REALLY say, "Your life expectancy is measured in minutes starting from when the first bracketing rounds come down."
