Pillbox, Adders Haugh, Mitford

  • Description

    "One of four WWII pillboxes in the Mitford area built in 1940-1 as part of the Northern Command River Wansbeck Stop Line. Reinforced concrete construction, six-sided, with nine gun-slits and a porch over the entrance. Another near the castle is shown here [[1767720]] The pill boxes face north because it was believed that the Germans would invade north Northumberland from the beaches and then strike south. These two lie south but close to the River Wansbeck and were designed to impede troop movements after crossing the river. There is an old ford to the ENE." Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2010.
