Pillbox near Pry Holding, Purton, Wiltshire
The pillbox is a WWII Type FW3/22 reinforced concrete pillbox situated at SU11108790. It was part of GHQ Line: Red - GHQ Stop Line running from south of Malmesbury to west of Reading. It sits on the 100 metre contour about 200 metres east of the minor B4553 road running north to south from Crosslanes Farm to Common Platt. It remains as a reminder of the dark days of 1940 and it is somehow reassuring to know that it still stands sentinel over those of us who live in these parts should some die-hard Nazi decide to dust off Hitler's plans for Operation Sealion.
