Project (1 January 2005)
Pillbox Study Group comprised a list of Second World War sites, drawn together from various documentary sources and field work.
The project is informal and recording is mostly crowd sourced by submissions to the Pillbox Study Group Forum and Facebook Group as well as a number of other online groups and websites. The aim is to continue the work of the original Defence of Britain survey run by the CBA and record the locations and status of 20th century military and civil defence sites. Site visits are often undertaken group members to confirm the status of known sites and record new ones.
