There is a brilliant Defence of Britain (DOB) file for Google Earth in which you can select Pillboxes etc.

Anyone know what the post is infront of the this pill box in brimstage?

A better link would have been straight (well nearly straight) to the DOB google KMZ dataset ... (it was hidden at the bottom of the page of the previous link).
