Local pillbox survivors

A platform for a large static gun perhaps? I would imagine it was used to guard against the possible taking of the Alexandra Palace transmitter
That s a good suggestion.
I wonder if possibly that may have been an air raid shelter, with the protrusion on the right being the entrance down the steps to underground ? Maybe not.

I am fascinated by WW1 & 2 pillboxes, so many styles and in some seemingly questionable locations. Now residing in Norfolk we have many scattered along the coast and countryside. I believe they should be preserved.
