Formwork ready for the concrete around one section on the new 60lb cane railway installation adjacent to the Distillery ... distillery in the background.
Not technically a pillbox, but I had to include a second example from Buchanan Battery on Flotta. On a much larger scale than the pillboxes above, this three-level battery observation post has been cast using large precast concrete panels laid horizontally as shuttering.

Shown here after acrylic laser cut pieces have been tensioned with latex. These forms are nice, if a bit shallow. Stronger apparatus, pieced latex, and better scaffolding will allow deeper, contoured, and adaptable pieces. But for a start, this is great. Patterns are drawn in resist and decoration fills in spaces.
The EFCO Redi-Radius system was reconfigured from the straight wall application on the Oxidation ditch to form the radius section of the same structure. Interior view. Notice the small amount of parts and pieces with this system - this ultimately reduces labor costs to cycle the formwork.

The red-brick pillbox is probably the one that people first think of when they think of these second world war defences. Rather far from being constructed entirely from red brick, this readily available material is used as a form of shuttering with a core of concrete.
In this example of a Type 24, large precast concrete lintels have been used above the loopholes and door to the rear. Interestingly, the floor of this pillbox has been laid in red brick and not the characteristic concrete as is often seen.
