Monument record FEX 301 - Pillbox

On land of East End Farm, 46 feet from a bend in Ferry Road, Old Felixstowe, Felixstowe. Rectangular pillbox, with shuttering walls inside and out made of 9insx4insx2ins cement 'bricks', and the space between them filled with concrete. There are vertical reinforcing bars and some evidence that the two shuttering walls are connected by metal ties. The roof is of cast concrete and the marks of the boards can be seen inside. There are one or two slight cracks on the inside. The outside has weathered to show a fairly constant aggregate. The upper surface of the walls and round the embrasures is rendered and in good condition. The embrasures are cement/concrete construction cast in situ. There are wooden plugs in the walls for shelves for firing rests. There are no internal anti-blast or division walls. There is some soil banked up against the pillbox due to ploughing. The pillbox is dry inside, but has some rubbish and soil (S1).
