My local pillbox

Article about: i Thought you guys might like to see this . I was inspired by two books in my collection to make this thread and after I saw a similar thread about bunkers in Scotland. That and the weather

    Exciting news, and a reminder that there is always forgotten history out there waiting to be discovered. Such was the scale of the conflict, that things like this will probably be discovered for decades to come.

    I hope they make a local museum or display to show off the items. Makes me quite happy knowing ww2 relics are being found literally two miles from my house. Especially ordnance! Who knows what else the might find. If they found a polish dog tag or name tag. Seeing from this forum they are basically all traceable which will make it even more interesting.

    There's a lot they could potentially find, especially if the site was home to German POW's. There was an episode of a recent TV series - I forget the name - where they excavated a field that was home to a POW camp, as well as being used for Home Guard training. They found all sorts there, everything from glass bottles to mortar tail fins.
