Turton Tower Pill box

Slap bang on the Two Crosses route is the Turton Tower Pillbox. It is difficult to see what it protected, or even how effective they have been. However it has stood the march of time and remains quite spooky in the half light and early in the morning. I've been past it several times. It remains quite graffiti free and seems quite uncared for. World War II Pillbox near Turton Tower on Chapeltown Road, near Edgworth. This Pillbox is of type FW3/24. During World War II, these bunkers were used for the defense of the United Kingdom against a possible enemy invasion, and there are examples all over the country. They were built in 1940 and into 1941.

There is a railway line in the dip at Hoghton Tower.

Stuck my head inside - Graffiti free - well almost

Looking back into the sunrise!

There really is not much else to say about it! 75 years old and still surviving!
