Cotswold Canals in Pictures

Type 26 Pillbox, near Bristol Road Wharf

Along with the other nearby pillbox at Stonepitts Bridge, this was also a part of Stop Line Green. There is another nearby pillbox at Fromebridge Mill, not featured on this site.

(Pillboxes are defensive concrete guard posts, normally equipped with openings, or 'loopholes' through which to fire weapons.)

For further information on the Stroudwater WWII Pillboxes, see the review produced by the Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology (GSIA).  This can be downloaded from the Stonepitts pillbox page, see 'Further Information' for details.
