Pillbox and Castle
A Second World War pillbox near Bodiam Castle in East Sussex. Visual would have been in the front line of a cross-channel invasion in 1940. I am sure the pillbox would have been valuable then as a defensive structure. Recent scholarship has reached the conclusion that the castle was built to provide an illusion of martial strength rather than as a major fortification. Perhaps the brick pillbox was also to give more a feeling of security?
