Milton Cliff Bunker

The coastline of southern Britain is littered with the relics of war, of defence and of invasion fears. The cliffs between Barton and Milton on Sea are no exception. Now little more than a jumble of shattered concrete, a bunker/pillbox of some form stood guard in the early 1940's, waiting for the German 'Operation Sea Lion', the invasion of Britain, to begin. Thanks to the RAF that invasion never came. I've studied World War Two defences for some years now, and although amongst the concrete remains I've identified embrasures, the form of this site still eludes me, of course that could be as it was a hybrid form, which was a common practice to facilitate the specific strategic requirements of individual locations.  30m East there is the concrete base of another feature, although nothing further remains beyond a base. On a summers day war seems so distant, although there must be locals still remember those fearful days and what the coast looked like then; it would great to hear their stories.
