WW2 Pillboxes/Bunkers at Farnborough

[Deleted]

Hi
Can anyone remember the old brick pillbox that was near Eelmoor Bridge?. When did it go and is there any pics of it or of others that maybe here?

I do remember them yes, no pic though, sorry, there is a forum called something on the subject of pillboxes called the pillbox preservation society or similar, they may have some photos on their form

I remember sitting on the one on the left hand side after Eelmoor Bridge in the 60's/70's/80's as it offered a good view of what was happening on the other side of the fence. There was another one on the other side of the road.
Not sure of the date that they were demolished, but I think it was at the same time that they cleared a great deal of the taller trees.

Thats the one, Ive posted a few pics on there myself, on the hill behind Eelmoor brige is a very well preserved "Spigot mortar" emplacment, althought its very overgrown, I think I posted some pics on here of it in the past I will try and find the thread

after a quick search I couldnt find the posts, however I still have the originals, so here are a few shot of the Spiggot Mortar position on top of the hill behind the airfield
