Type 24 Second World War pillbox east of Hoo St Werburgh

This Type 24 pillbox, built in 1940, is located east of Hoo St Werburgh and was part of the anti-invasion defences of the Hoo Stop Line. Constructed from reinforced concrete with yellow stock brick shuttering, it has an irregular hexagonal shape typical of the thick-walled Type 24 design. Notably, there is no brickwork above the five recessed light machine gun embrasures, a feature unique to this section of the GHQ Line, likely due to the specifications of an individual contractor. The longer rear wall includes a low entrance that is flanked by two additional loopholes. Inside, there is a concrete, Y-shaped anti-ricochet wall positioned in the center of the pillbox.
