Looking along the River Dee towards Saltney and Chester we can see this World War Two pillbox half buried after work has been done to build up the embankment. At least one other pillbox along the Dee has been removed, but this one remains. It is not recorded on any map I have seen, but by carefully comparing the Windows Live Local aerial photograph with Magic Map, I estimate it is just a few metres inside the square SJ3367. There is another pillbox nearer to Chester, which isn't buried and is in better condition - see Image .
