KIRKBY STEPHEN PILL - BOX.

Type F/W-24 Pill-Box, Nateby

View towards the Eden Valley.

This classic type 24 stands in splendid isolation overlooking the main A685 road as it passes between the Midland Railway overbridge and the Nateby turn-off. It would have provided enfilading fire of the A685 as well as direct shooting up and down the road. There might well have been a road-block under the railway bridge covered by this pill-box.

This type-24 pill-box is almost identical to the one at Stainmore; so much so that I would put it as being built by the same building contractor!
