After my visit to St Peter\u2019s in Outwell, I drove to a spot I\u2019d taken note of on one of my fairly recent delivery drives. On the previous occasion it was a glorious sunset. Today it\u2019s grey n\u2019 incredibly windy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ne\u2019er moind, as they moight say round these parts. I stopped and got snap happy anyway. I love these tatty old nondescript relics of recent near Armageddon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one, even better, is stil open, and not filled with the detritus of hoboes or misspent youths. It has the look and feel of a small artillery emplacement. With a commanding view of the waterway crossing and (A1698) road. The side vision ports offer surprisingly poor views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 not too great, view wise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a very low structure, in which you\u2019d have to sit, kneel, or squat. With an open rear. It was fun to look it over. Despite the Arctic gale blowing through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
