SU3168 : WW2 pillbox near Marsh Gate
near to Froxfield, Wiltshire County, Great Britain
WW2 pillbox near Marsh Gate
View looks northwards from close to the main railway line towards the A4. This sadly decaying pillbox is a type FW3/22 originally part of GHQ stop-line Blue and commanding a stretch of the railway and the nearby Kennet & Avon Canal. The pillbox is being damaged by the storage of hard core in the vicinity and a new mobile phone mast has been built just out of picture in the field on the left. It is a big pity that the architectural and historical significance of such buildings is rarely appreciated.
