This green commemorative plaque records: Type 26 Pillbox This pillbox was built in 1941 as part of a network of defences built all over the British Isle to prevent an anticipated invasion during the Second World War. It is one of the few remaining examples and is identified as a structure of character and historical importance. This plaque was placed in 2005 bay Ferring Parish Council in collaboration with the Environment Agency to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the end of the War in Europe - 'VE Day' 8th May 1945.
The Type 26 Pillbox is a defensive structure built in 1941 as part of Britain's extensive coastal defenses during World War II, designed to thwart potential German invasions; it stands as a historical remnant of the wartime fortifications that characterized the period.
