Of the 'Essex lozenge' design, set through the seawall. This is number e02739 in the Extended Defence of Britain Record. This particular one has some modern slabs on the roof, apparently holding it together as it appears to have broken its back. It is not clear how they do this, each slab seems to have just two small fixings, perhaps they are just to prevent children and animals falling down the crack.
