A possible type 22 pillbox has been identified from RAF WWII vertical air photographs, (106G L/NLA 96, 20.03.1945, 4006-7) on seaward side of Footdee to the N of the North Pier (NJ90NE 72). In association with the pillbox are two lines of anti-tank blocks (NJ90NE 63).
Information from RCAHMS (DE), December 2000.
Nothing is now visible of this pillbox, which stood close to the SW end of the North Pier at Aberdeen harbour. Like all of the other pillboxes that were situated in the harbour area, it was probably removed soon after the Second World War. Hexagonal on plan, it was of type-22 design (Wills 1985).
