WWII inland defences of SW Hampshire - Everton pillbox (1) - Pillbox (unclassified): DoB ID: S0012876 I was assured of the existence of two pillboxes at this location, one a Home Guard section post (essentially hardened trench works), and a conventional pillbox. It was therefore disappointing to only find this specimen with just a corner peeping out at me from beneath the covering of brambles. I'm assuming this is the concrete faced pillbox listed on the Database of Britain Defence Archive. There was no sign of the section post. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4897370">SZ2993 : WWII inland defences of SW Hampshire - Everton pillbox (2)</a>
