- Pillbox (variant): DoB ID: S0008510 Wareham -St Martin's Church - Square Variant Pillbox. A closer view of this pillbox built into the wall of St Martin's churchyard. The outline of the blocked embrasure in the end wall can be seen to the right of the drainpipe's water stain. Both the railway and the River Frome on their route east along the Stop Line from Maiden Newton towards Poole, part company here. The Frome flows east into Poole Harbour, whilst the railway swings away to the north on its short journey around the harbour to Poole town. Image
