First World War pillbox, Howden's Pullover

This First World War pillbox was built in 1917 and is constructed from concrete reinforced with expanded metal lath sheeting and steel rails. The concrete was poured in place using timber shuttering on the inside and sandbag shuttering on the outside, giving it a rusticated appearance.

The pillbox has a single cell with a trapezoidal shape. The northeast elevation, facing the sea, is blind and convex. Both the northwest and southeast elevations feature a single, low-set, wide-splayed machine gun embrasure. The rear of the structure has a single rebated doorway that is mostly blocked.

Access to the interior is currently blocked and filled with sand. Inside, the walls are made of smooth whitewashed concrete, showing marks from horizontal plank shuttering and rectangular wooden plugs in the side walls, likely used for attaching the shuttering. Only the top surfaces of the gun embrasures on the northwest and southeast walls can be seen. The internal face of the northeast wall is angled up to the ceiling, following the slope of the exterior and maintaining the wall's thickness.
