Monument record MDR14127 - Pillbox, River Dove, Marston on Dove
Type and Period (1)
- PILLBOX (Second World War - 1939 AD to 1945 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
A World War II pillbox on the River Dove. There is one of the same design across the River Dove [in Staffordshire]. The Environment Agency is looking in to the possibility of converting the pillboxes in to bat roosts [2014]. (1)
The pillboxes flank the River Dove, and are along the route of the now dismantled Derbyshire and North Staffordshire extension of the Great Northern Railway. They presumably would have protected the (now demolished) railway bridge. (2-3)
