Dorsetman Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 World War II Pillbox, based at the north end of Middle Beach, Studland in Dorset. Constructed in 1943 by Canadian engineers and named after their base back in Ontario. It was one of many pillboxes constructed as a line of defence against the impending invasion of the German army. This concrete bunker has walls a metre thick and would have offered a superb view of any naval vessels approaching, although not adequately equipped to repel the enemy. Google Maps location Please be aware that to access this Pillbox requires you to walk on uneven surfaces and avoid visiting when high tide is approaching!
