From Saint Michael's Mount, looking down from the top of the mount. This is part of a set I shot with the intention of editing out the various groups of people walking past. But I decided I quite like the way this one turned out anyway.

There were multiple stone walls and a section of pointy bits of stone sticking up ("known as a ‘Chevaux de frise’" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dun_Aengus ). It would be hard to traverse on foot, forget on a horse.

These are the flood defences running along The Wharfage in Ironbridge. They had not put the pastic over this section when we got there. I wanted to get over onto the other side but when I was chatting to one of the 'guards' he said that no-one was allowed over that side and even residents had to be escorted through, I couldn't even convince him to escort me through just to take some pictures. Shame really, I though the curve of the defence wall along the street was really photogenic.

Once part of the North Yorkshire World War Two Coastal Defences, the remains of a Boomerang Section Post, originally one of a pair positioned on the top of Killerby Cliff. Now broken in half due to coastal erosion, and the rest of the remains are half way down the cliff and on Cayton Bay beach. A Section Post is basically a ''hardened trench'' constructed to a bulletproof standard, and sometimes with no roof, they are long and have a large number of loopholes. Concrete shelves, or sometimes wood are fitted below. There are twenty six examples of Section Posts still remaining and twenty one examples of Section Posts found on airfields, refered to a ''Seagull Trench'' named for its W-shaped plan like a seagull's wings.
The semi-sunken Boomerang Section Post is approximately 40ft in total length and 6ft in width, with a wall thickness of 15in. It has a large number of loopholes, with a continuous concrete gun shelf below them, but only on the outer face. The first section has four (possibly five) loopholes in the front face, one in the end and three in the rear face, which would have been identical on the other broken section, the centre section has three loopholes in the front face and two in the rear, allowing for rear defence. There is a full-height entrance at either end which are protected by an L-shaped external blast wall, both had been blocked up, so has the opening hanging over the cliff edge, for safety reasons. The whole structure is covered with a reinforced concrete roof.
There is a news article in the Yorkshire Post www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/scarb... claiming Scarborough Council had ''pushed'' the Section Post over the cliff, but they claim the structure was broken up and disposed of at the local recycling centre, and the Section post remains on the beach are from the second one.
