The coast of Malta is littered with relics of various conflicts from the centuries. This pillbox at Zonqor dates back to World War 2, a look out on a peninsula.

The Anti-Tank Cube double wall extending into the Fleet and the northern Type 26 Pillbox.
Garrisoned by up to five men, the Type 26 is a simple square in plan with each wall being 10 feet (3 m) long. There is a door in one side and embrasures usually in each of the remaining three walls although this particular example has a blind wall to the north elevation. There are no internal walls. The embrasures are suitable for rifles or light machine guns. Walls are normally constructed to bullet proof standard at about 18 inches (46 cm) thick. This example was built using board shuttering for the concrete and was given a coating of beach pebbles set in render to blend in with it's surroundings.
The type 26 is uncommon, 199 are recorded as extant.
A large number of pillboxes were built along the Fleet and Chesil Beach shoreline during WWII as part of the fortifications against a possible invasion. This particular line of Anti-Tank Cube obstacles was built to prevent any enemy armoured vehicles that may have landed to the east on Chesil Beach from gaining access to the land west of the lagoon from where the vehicles could have headed inland.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of September 2012, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed. In preparation for the river-bank strengthening/protection along this stretch of the river, a 2nd channel was created -- with the intention of diverting the river. Having endured a similar flooding only days earlier, another heavy fall of rain caused the channels to fill up again. It meant starting all over again - draining this road/bank side channel, cutting a release channel near the bridge to release the volume, and activating pumps to assist with the repeated drainage. Matters were never helped by the overflow pipe which siphoned run-off from the adjacent motorway! Always quite amazing to see how water levels could drain away within a few days. The question would always be -- how much work could be completed before the (inevitable) next run of water? The following sequences show how the guys reinforced the river bed/bank: spreading out, and stitching in a membrane, layout out wire creels, filled with medium sized stones, welded shut, and laid out in grids, particularly the sections alongside the road/bank side.
