Cattle grid and WW2 pillbox near Denford Mill
Cattle grid and WW2 pillbox near Denford Mill
This WW2 type 22 pillbox, originally part of GHQ Stopline Blue and one of a number of pillboxes in the Dun Mill lock area to the east of Hungerford, was once part of a roadblock but now stands solitary guard over a non-military cattle grid. A plaque just visible by the embrasure reminds visitors to the area of the historical significance of such pillboxes and their role in 1940 had Britain been invaded.
