At Shalford an unusual drum-shaped pillbox facing South-east still covers a crossing of the River Wey . Made of concrete blocks on exterior. There is an adjacent National Trust sign providing details of the pillbox.
The pillbox has 5 loopholes [all now sealed] providing all round (360 degrees) fire. It stands on a concrete plinth 10ins above the ground surface.
This pillbox formed part of the GHQ Line (Berkshire/Hampshire/Surrey/Kent) - West - East section of GHQ Line running from Reading through Hampshire and West Surrey to Kent (Leigh) following in part a line south of the North Downs.(Photos Tim Denton)
