View this post on Instagram Grade II listed pillboxes in the middle of a housing estate in Steeton! Built to defend a former Royal Ordnance Factory in the Second World War.

There is a third pillbox which I have yet to find (used in the 1979 film 'Yanks'), rain and fading light having thwarted me on this trip. #ww2 #pillbox #steeton #royalordnancefactory #incongruous #yorkshire #steetonpillbox #pillbox A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on Jun 23, 2019 at 2:48pm PDT
