    Hiking

    There were around 28,000 pillboxes built in Britain around 1940, tiny fortifications to help defend the coastlines against any German invasion. Less than 10,000 remain and the south east, perhaps understandably given its proximity to mainland Europe, had a significant amount.

    This concrete block resides in undergrowth on the edge of a former war defence, the Royal Military Canal, itself built to defend against invasion, albeit from the French.
