Gun position at Crinnis overlooking Carlyon Bay. Situated at SX054521 on cliff edge in field near Carlyon Bay Hotel. I can recall three other defence structures defending Carlyon Bay from the 70s:
Pillbox defending the road down to the beach at SX 055 522 on seaward edge of the road and at edge of current carpark. Now removed.
Pillbox/Observation post at SK 060523 on small headland overlooking the beach (?) but now overgrown.
Pillbox on headland at Fishing Point overlooking Polgaver Beach at SX 066522. The remains still exist but it has been collapsed. Seems to have small embrasures so maybe infantry box. Finished with stone chips in concrete.
None are on DOB Database
An R42 Subway car part of the Train of Many Metals at 96 St-Second Av. The R42s are mainly on the J train (Z train skip stop) with the Shuttle train along the M line (Sept. 1 2017- Apr. 30 2018). This R42 is part of "The French Connection".
An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.

Position Limit, the 3-2 favorite among ten 2-year-old fillies, took the lead from Alienation in upper stretch and drew clear for a five-length victory Sunday afternoon in the Grade 2, $150,000 Adirondack at Saratoga Race Course.
Trained by Todd Pletcher for Starlight Partners, the Bellamy Road filly broke well and settled close to the pace as Alienation and Miss Sarah Brown zipped through fractions of 21.72 and 45.07. Moving up on the turn as Miss Sarah Brown began to fade, Position Limit collared Alienation at the top of the lane and after a brief tussle, edged clear for her second victory in as many starts.
“It set up perfect for her,” said winning jockey John Velazquez. “I was slightly nervous, though when I came up behind [Alienation] because it looked like she was going pretty easily. But as soon as I caught up with her, I knew I had her.”
Position Limit’s winning time was 1:17.30 for 6 ½ furlongs.
“I thought it went very well,” said Pletcher, who said the Grade 1 Frizette at Belmont Park on October 9 was a likely target. “She was able to secure a good position and delivered a kick when needed. It was what we had hoped for.”
Position Limit, a 6 ¾-length winner in her debut at Belmont Park on July 14, a race that earned her a spot on NYRA’s “New York Watch” list, returned $5.10 to her backers in the crowd of 20,980. She earned $90,000 for the Adirondack win, lifting her bankroll to $120,000.
Alienation, making her first start on dirt after breaking her maiden on turf, had another five lengths on third-place finisher Coax Liberty.
“She’s still learning how to run, but I think she handled the dirt all right,” said Alienation’s Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert. “The winner is a good filly. We want to win, but I’m happy with her effort. She was the second choice and she came in second.”
Completing the order of finish were Hula, Nina Fever, Silvislip, Because I Like It, Tristanme, Golden Phoenix, and Miss Sarah Brown.

Dam Bruce Hwy had 17 stop-n-go "men" from the Sunshine Coast to Airlie Beach and 37 road work zones. Not fun!
At this point, there were few troops left in the town and the artillery had gotten the range and the supporting guns on the east bank of the Maas are having trouble finding targets so we decided to call it quits. The Monmouths had taken the town essentially but at a high cost(as it was historically). Only 2 officiers were left. The pioneers lost 17 out of 32 with their CO down. 2 of 3 Sherman Crabs were KO'ed. The Cromwells had only one undamaged runner. I managed to intice two newbies -- Tom took over the job of attacking the town and Adam came along later to watch and sometime Lardie Rob played the hard pressed defenders. The Germans had little chance to keep the Brits out for the entire game but the attacking troops were getting abused all along by the artillery and defensive fire.
