Travelling around the "Fens" today with BK on some explorations! Came across these two lovely Pillboxes one protecting a bridge and the other open, flat ground (of which there is enough around these parts). Both are the ubiquous Type FW3/28, "2 pounder anti-tank" pillbox. Apart from the gun, they would have had also 3 Light machine Guns, and would have been manned by a garrison of 10 men.
Sure would have been a lonely place, manning this one!
This one protects the bridge and sits out on a lone Fenland road.
Field of fire!

Is the third one a 28a as well, or a straight 28? Looks like a 28.
There's a couple of variant 28s locally I keep meaning to have a look at.

Thanks Smiler.. it has an ADS DOB entry, but there's no description or type given. Looks very tight inside.
