This seemingly incongruous structure, which is set into the edge of North Cliff Golf Course, seems out of place until you look at old-maps to see that it is next to the former Burniston Barracks (Royal Tank Corps). The barracks have long since been re-developed for housing, but the pillbox has been bricked up and left in place. See also Image
