Pillbox Hornchurch Country Park 4

3D Model

A World War 2 pillbox at the southern end of Hornchurch Country Park, London. The park used to be the RAF Hornchurch airfield, hence the defences in this area.

A nearby sign describes this hexaganol type 22 pillbox as a Battle HQ. The pillbox is mostly buried with the entrance having been elsewhere nearby (not currently visible). This documentary shows the entrance tunnel being excavated at around the 40 minute mark. https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/two-men-in-a-trench–the-battle-of-britain/zkdtd6f
