This pillbox now stands covered in vegetation and looking rather forlorn in the middle of a new housing estate. The Ravenswood estate was built on the site of Ipswich airport, and presumably the pillbox was erected to protect the airfield during WW2. It's a little surprising that the pillbox wasn't demolished during the building of the new houses.
