DERELICT BUILDING ON AN EX MILITARY OF DEFENCE SITE IN AN EAST COAST HOLIDAY RESORT SOUTHEND ON SEA ENGLAND DSCN1995 C
Berwick was captured or sacked 13 times before 1432 when it fell into the hands of the English - in its Elizabethan Town Walls that were built to keep the invading Scots out of the town. Built in 1558, the walls were the most expensive building project of England's Golden Age.
From the top of these walls you can take in some spectacular views over the wide estuary of the River Tweed including Stephenson's famous viaduct bridge, hailed as one of the finest in the world.
Happisburgh became a site of national archaeological importance in 2010 when flint tools over 800,000 years old were unearthed. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK.[3] In May 2013, a series of early human footprints were discovered on the beach at the site, providing direct evidence of early human activity at the site.[4]
Catalogued by the Defence of Britain project as Pillbox S0000795 this remaining pillbox protects Sheffield Bridge at Sheffield Green in East Sussex, just within the Bluebell railway overflow car park.
Box S0000795 is a 1995/11/26 Type 24 pillbox of variant form (4 embrasures only). Brick-shuttered externally; wood-shuttered internally. Entrance guarded by brick L-shaped wall. Interior brick Y-shaped blast wall. 4 embrasures facing W to E overlooking A275 road bridge over River Ouse. 2 vents above entrance.
One for my Defence of Britain image catalogue.

Smashed Sea Defences & A WW2 Pillbox Lay Upside Down On Happisburgh Beach After Having The Cliff It Was Built To Defend Washed Away Beneath It.
Fort Southwick is one of the forts found on Portsdown Hill, which overlooks the naval base of Portsmouth in the county of Hampshire, England.
Fort Southwick was built to defend the landward approaches to the naval base on the recommendation of the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom which reported in 1860.
It was sold by the Ministry of Defence in July 2003 to the "Fort Southwick Company Limited", who intend to convert the barrack block into luxury apartments.
It has been a Grade I Listed Building since 1987.
Just spent a great weekend away with Phil camping near Cromer. Early start of 4am on the Saturday morning for sunrise. Sadly it just stayed dull hence the b&w shot.
New Brighton sea defences head on. Was waiting on these very slippery rocks for the tide to expose the stones!
Eighth and last round of Rogue Olympics 2024, as always with a piece count limit of 101. Topic is "focus" or the german word "Fokus". In Germany you can also call it "Brennpunkt" and since I like to interpret topics a bit I thought about "Brennpunktviertel" which means something like "deprived districts". So I built a small scene of a woman defending the trailor park and her home from being cleared. The scene is a free interpretation of the clearing of the Bambule trailer park in Hamburg in 2002.
Pan Asian troops have been inserted in Kanagawa because of the rumor that US troops were their way to Tokyo with the objective to make sure no American soldiers were left on Japanese soil. Scouts and small platoons were placed in buildings to scout for any American activity and to prevent enemy forces to secure the area. Platoon 36-B discovered what might be US troops in the Takashi tower and a special ops team have been sent to the tower for searching.
Old timber posts spread in a sporadic manner along the trackside are all that remain of the snow fence on the west side of the line to the south of Dalwhinnie station.
66301 is seen at the start of the double track section over the hill with 4D47 1307 Inverness to Mossend Tesco intermodal.

Going back much further in time than yesterday's medieval defence castle flic.kr/p/2kQUm7Z this photo shows two of the Iron Age hillforts in north Dorset.
The photo is taken from Rawlsbury Camp, sometimes known locally as Rawlsbury Rings. The earthworks in the foreground extend right around a flat enclosure on the top, much smaller but very similar in design to the more famous Maiden Castle near Dorchester.
On the horizon, the middle one of the three hills that can be seen is Lyscombe Hill. There is a promontory on which sits Nettlecombe Tout, another Iron Age hill fort.
It is difficult to give accurate dates but they are likely to have been built around 600BC - 300BC.
