Ironically, I raised concerns with the group back in 2017; I even offered to become an admin to help, but they refused. 8 years later the same issues are still evident.

The group has 25.6K members; downloads will be high - and I expect copies are being circulated behind the scenes.

So, just to recap; we publish an article in a national magazine, presenting new analysis based on many years of hard work.

The 'Pillbox Appreciation Society' republish it w/o permission and ban us when we assert our intellectual property rights???

But they liked the article...

They liked our article so much, the admin I privately messaged with my concerns has blocked me, and I've been kicked out of the group! But they liked our research...

Usually seperate, but in cases where permission/requisition were possible then a pre-existing building might be fortified.

I bet they had fun trying to remove it post-war! Does the concrete still survive then?

I'd forgotten all about that...

Here's the talk I did with @sussexpillbox.bsky.social for @archaeologyuk.bsky.social- www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLRn...

Might as well point out my GoFundMe. I'm currently raising funds to help me source the relevant documents from the National Archives so I can research and tell the untold story of the defence of East Yorkshire by the Regular and Territorial Army.

Thanks Gabe - much appreciated!

I decided to open an impromptu museum to display the exhibit, with appropriate labelling... 4/4

It's an anchor pin for 'Z1 Scaffolding', assembled along low-lying beaches in the UK as an anti-tank obstacle from December 1940. Z1 stretched hundreds of miles at an enormous cost of steel and labour. 3/4

I found this steel pin on the beach near Tower 64 - but what is it? 2/4

Thank you!

Thanks Chris!

Absolutely!

Thanks you - every day is a school day!

Thanks very much!
