📌 WWII FW3/28 Type-28 Gun House, Tuddenham Road, Barton Mills [TL-7270 7379]

Near the five-ways roundabout is a Type-28 Gun House which is well hidden underneath this thick foliage, no access, but I could make out some of the outer brickwork shuttering, which is a lighter coloured brick often seen around Suffolk and Essex. Positioned on one of three Eastern Command Corps Stop Lines, this one running from the River Colne in Essex via Wakes Colne and Bures, along the River Stour to Sudbury and Long Melford, and thence to Bury St. Edmunds and the River Lark at Mildenhall. Its final stretch (known now as the Command Line) was via Littleport along the line of the River Great Ouse to King's Lynn.
