Full Description
Site of a World War II pillbox. A type 22 pillbox visible on RAF vertical air photos taken 1945 and situated at the east end of Torry Quay. The quay has been substantially altered since 1945 and the small stub-ended jetty on which the pillbox stood has been removed or incorporated into modern wharfs. Nothing now visible and it was probably removed soon after the war.
