NHER 38897 (Monument record) - Site of World War Two pillbox

A possible World War Two pillbox is visible as a standing structure on aerial photographs from 1942 and 1943. The building is partially obscured by trees and the possibility that it is a hay or straw stack, rather than a pillbox, cannot be ruled out. It is however located in a suitable position for a pillbox, overlooking a bend in the road between Trimingham and Sidestrand. A second pillbox (NHER 38898), which lies 275m to the east, seems to guard a track leading to a small coastal defence site (NHER 38891) situated on the cliff edge 400m to the north-east. There is no sign of the structure on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and it had presumably been demolished by this date.
