Description

This research is automated and may contain errors.

10/1993 The coast guard tower appears to be the Battery Observation Post of the Hunstanton Coast Defence Battery, whose other buildings have long since disappeared (gone over the cliff). Underground magazines are said to still exist. Alongside the BOP is a small Royal Naval style pillbox with horizontal small arms embrasures in each face. The coastguard tower appears to have a similar structure, with now blocked embrasures, vertical ones, and canopies to north and west.
