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.

A pentagonal pillbox at the RAF Staverton, now in private use as Gloucestershire Airport. Located to the east of the airfield on agricultural land.
I have not been able to find a known pattern for this box, as it has four sides with loopholes, and a rear wall without; but there is an attached (possible) light anti-aircraft section or open emplacement, similar to a Type 23.
Inside is flooded, but the water level is low. A wooden firing shelf remains, all the way around. The four small loopholes have steel shuttering in place to reduce the opening even further. There is a second shutter on each loophole that can be opened or closed by the firer inside. I have not seen this before. The interior retains a lot of great features.
The pillbox is entered from the exterior LAA post through a very small doorway! There are steel steps on the inside of the LAA emplacement to assist getting in and out, and there are two mounting holes in the emplacement wall suggesting an external ladder may have been present.
