The council have moved some to prevent vehicular access but most are still in their original location. I counted 36. Originally, including those at the rear of Mobs Way there were almost 200 in a straight north/south line with others at a 90 degree angle. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3992107 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3992105 Pillboxes sited nearby were also ready to defend the area in case of invasion https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3992113 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3992130
