This pillbox has now been opened up after the adjoining garden was extended over the roof. The area behind the pillbox has been cleared of sand to reveal the fact that the pillbox is a double Machine gun pillbox with each compartment having a separate door covered by it’s own pistol loop. There is what looks like a third loophole to the right of the interior view but this is most likely damage from previous sea wall works.
