Brilliant talk 🗣 by @ckolonko.bsky.social at March #Museum last night on pillboxes 🪖
Putting pillboxes into their proper context in the landscape and as part of Regional Defence Plan 🗺
As of 2002 6000 #WW2 #pillboxes remained but only 100 are 'listed' 🤔
A familiar but misunderstood part of #Heritage
It's been a great #HeritageWeek2025 down in #Foynes! 33 members of the public attended a presentation & tour of Pillboxes at Mulderricksfield on 19/08. What a fantastic turnout! A huge thanks to Tom Cassidy, to TII, & LCCC for the event! #heritageweek #colimerick #archaeology #pillboxes #wwi #wwii
Are there any war historians here that may be able to answer a question about pillboxes?

Be sure to get your copy of the recent edition of British #Archaeology Magazine. Me and @sussexpillbox.bsky.social have an article looking at developments in the archaeological investigation of #SecondWorldWar #pillboxes.

Didn't expect that. Northern Command issued an order forbidding the construction of #pillboxes on the 7th of September 1940! One of the earliest dates I've seen but now have to see if construction was reinstated before February '42 when GHQ Home Forces halted construction indefinitely.
"have multiple #pillBoxes so you can fill 3-4 weeks of meds at once. This helps you figure out when you’re going to run out of some #medications, but it also means you’re less likely to miss doses": buff.ly/3Pp5Evh by @katethealmostgreat.bsky.social #ChronicIllness #spoonies #surgery
Second World War infantry pillbox.
This thread is based on a thread I posted to Twitter earlier in 2018.
The aim of this thread is to highlight the importance of recording wartime sites and structures in detail. A lot of information can be gathered simply by taking the time to investigate #pillboxes further.
I'll be talking about #Pillboxes for NAHRG on the 20th of ths month. Details available here-
