This pillbox almost hidden in trees just across Wilford Bridge from Melton must have covered the bridge and stood guard at an important road junction. To the right the road led to RAF Bawdsey and RAF Woodbridge and to the left is the road to RAF Bentwaters and the coast. Today it just carries a sign pointing to the golf club.
