Full Description

October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
The structure appears as a rectangular concrete block built into the side of a sea bank. The structure is not so dissimilar from pillbox NHER 32374 to the west, and is positioned at a strategically vulnerable point. However, this structure is not in the gazetteer of Norfolk pillboxes (S2) and may not be associated with the military at all. Possible pump housing or sluice but this seems less likely
M. Brennand (NMP), 2 October 2002.
