Full description

October 1995: It is reliably reported that a pillbox once stood at Map ref. 707402 (Mil.Ed. ), "Eastcliff Hotel". <1>

February 2012: Nothing identifiable as a pillbox can be seen on February 1941 or July 1946 aerial photographs. <2> <3> However, both show something where the East Terrace Breakwater joins the roadway about 40 yards NE of the former hotel. Without more evidence this appears to be the most likely site.
