This is the view an attacker from the west would have had.


This is the view looking east along the railway line.


This pillbox formed part of GHQ Line (Berkshire/Hampshire/Surrey/Kent) - West - East section of GHQ Line running from Reading through Hampshire and West Surrey to Kent (Leigh)and following in part a line south of the North Downs. As can be seen from this interior shot it is still in remarkably good condition despite 60+ years of Hampshire weather.(photos Tim Denton).
