Pillboxes, Royal Military Canal, Rye to Appledore


Recommended Posts

 

The Royal Military Canal is a canal running 28 miles between Seabrook near Folkstone and Cliff End near Hastings, following the old cliff line bordering Romney Marsh.

 

During the early stages of World War II, when German invasion was looking likely, the canal was fortified with concrete pillboxes.

This second pillbox doesnt lie on on the canal but over looks it from the hills. I had to access some farmland for this one.

And this last one is much the same as the first.
