This pillbox is on the corner of George Lane and Pewsey Road and was part of the GHQ 'Blue' stop line installed along the line from Reading to Melksham in 1940 to act as a line of resistance against German forces which were expected to invade in the early years of the second world war. It is one of several pillboxes in the town most of which have long since been removed. For another view see Image
