Dear all,

I have just made a visit to PB025, the pillbox is still there and in a good shape. The interior is repainted by someone...It has a strange design which the entrance is in the same direction as the gun window!

Regards,

Derek

Thanks for those pictures Derek. Good to know it is still standing. Did you notice if the LL Shelter was still there in the vegetation?

Hello,

For the LL, I will take one more trip to search for it. I hope it is still there and in good shape!

Regards,

Derek

Good luck with that. It should be in all that tangle of vegetation above and to the left of the PB (as you face it).

Derek,

Thanks for the pictures. It's good to see both PB and LL Shelter still exist, and in reasonable conditiion.

Rob

Always welcome sir!

Have taken some arial photos of PB025 and LL025 in November. With a pier for boat sailing, stone steps to the roof of the pillbox and a sun shade is setup, it seems this defend post is now renovated as a recreation spot. I couldn't locate the Lyon Light Shelter when I took the photos. Only discovered it when I viewed the images on computer screen.
