EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and resilience. Standing tall amidst the picturesque landscape of Haddiscoe, Norfolk, is the Pillbox IoE 466394 - a remarkable relic from World War I. Built with sturdy concrete walls and fortified steel doors in 1916, this pillbox served as a crucial defence structure guarding St Olaves bridge. What makes this particular pillbox even more intriguing is its ingenious adaptation over time. In the mid-20th century, a weather-boarded office building was constructed on top of it, serving both functional purposes and providing effective camouflage. This clever addition not only enhanced its defensive capabilities but also blended seamlessly into its surroundings. The strength emanating from this historic site is palpable as you gaze upon Mr Chris Durrant's expertly captured image. The sheer magnitude of the concrete structure juxtaposed against the serene waters surrounding it evokes a sense of awe and respect for those who once stood guard within these walls. Listed by Historic England for its historical significance, this photograph encapsulates an era marked by bravery and sacrifice. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective past while igniting curiosity about what life must have been like during those tumultuous times. As we reflect upon Pillbox IoE 466394's role in defending our nation's borders during World War I, let us pay homage to all those who fought valiantly to preserve our freedom and honor their memory through preserving such invaluable relics that stand testament to their courage.
