I attach four photographs of the exposed beach at Brancaster, north Norfolk on the 18th February 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beach scaffolding has been exposed by recent high tides and the section of exposed angled wall I think may well be an anti-tank wall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the command building (now the Brancaster Golf Club) is beside this section of exposed scaffolding and concrete wall I think it all seems to fit in with a defended location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brancaster Beach Update February 2006<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since the above pictures were published on the Pillbox site the beach has altered a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the scaffolding has been cleared away and one of the three pillboxes that was on the top of the sand dunes appears to have been destroyed. I checked its position the best that I could, but there was no sign of it. The sand dunes are very low now and the line of them has altered since last year. The picture of the wall I took is fortunately still there, but for how long I do not know. I thought you and any members who know the area would be interested in just how quickly some sites are being destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
