Inspecting a WW2 pill box on top of Church Hill,
Alnmouth. This one is almost completely buried. Although
we did not measure this structure, size and design look
exactly the same as the Druridge Bay pill box pictured
here.
Also note in this image the traces of the old bed of the river Aln (flat,
dark area) winding its way from around the south of Church hill and
exiting to the left. This is the old path of the river that changed
its course during a great storm on Christmas day 1806, when it broke through the narrow strip of land connecting
Church
Hill to Alnmouth village. |
