NZ4532 : Pond and pillbox near Elwick
taken 13 years ago, near to Elwick, Hartlepool, England
Pond and pillbox near Elwick
The bumps and hollows in this field suggest that there may have been a pond here at one time.
An old pillbox can just be seen in the shadow of the big tree to the right. Presumably this was built to facilitate retaliation should the Luftwaffe have ventured too close to Elwick Hall.
Taken from a layby on the A19.
(Further information from Carolyn Liburd: It was a fish pond for Elwick Hall and dates back to medieval times.)
