Pillbox on the east side of Worcester and Birmingham Canal

This is a pillbox and probable watchtower, built around 1940-1941, located on the east side of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.

The structure is made of reinforced, shuttered concrete and has a circular plan with a multi-faceted base. It stands approximately 3.6 meters high and has a diameter of 2 meters, positioned at the edge of the canal. The exterior features a tall cylindrical shape with a multifaceted plinth and a small rectangular extension to the west. The main body of the pillbox is formed by cylindrical concrete sections, which include five gun embrasures on the north, west, and east sides. The upper sections of the pillbox do not have openings, and aerial images suggest that the top may be open, potentially with a roof inside the upper section to allow for a lookout position. The interior has not been inspected as of 2017.
