Basingstoke Hampshire World War 2 Pillboxes and Anti-Invasion Defences.


At Basingstoke Railway station these loopholes still face south. They are in good condition, 15 ft above the road and only 2ft above the track. SU 638 525

To see a map or aerial photo of this location.
Their low level means they would be for use in the prone and kneeling position.


These loopholes were part of Southern Command: Stop Line (Hook - Salisbury/Totton) - Stop Line running south west from the GHQ Line at Hook via Andover and Stockbridge to Salisbury, with spur to Romsey and Totton. They were also part of Basingstoke anti-tank island.(Photos and text Tim Denton)
