04/1997 This was the first of two pillboxes built in the Cove in WW2. Bricks were first carried down to the site 12 at a time. Later a visiting Welsh regiment formed a line down the steps and passed materials hand to hand. Cement was similarly transported to the site. (Informant: Mr. Noble, a local man).
