Type 26 Pillbox

Type 26 Pillbox This pillbox was built in 1941 as part of a network of defences built all over the British Isle to prevent an anticipated invasion during the Second World War. It is one of the few remaining examples and is identified as a structure of character and historical importance. This plaque was placed in 2005 bay Ferring Parish Council in collaboration with the Environment Agency to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the end of the War in Europe - 'VE Day' 8th May 1945.
