A river-side pillbox in Shoreham-by-Sea. There are a number of these close together, plus some anti-aircraft gun platforms for defending the nearby airport, which saw a reasonable amount of action during WW2.

The Taunton Stop Line. We were reconnoitering the northern part of it today and had a great ride across the Somerset Levels and back along canal towpaths. Please excuse the two modern bikes here, I’m on the 97 Pine Mountain but my excellent companions ware rocking “gravel”. SOS! Two km from home a Campagnolo Ekar 13 speed rear mech was sheered in two apparently by a piece of wood that caught up. Does anyone know where we can get one in the West Country to save our weekend? @bikeworkshop

I would guess that finding an ekar mech is going to be a struggle in Somerset, further north in Bristol perhaps but don't know of anywhere nearer stocking Campy parts.
Might have to do an impromptu 'fixed' gear lash up to limp along in one speed mode. Good luck.

Thanks. Not on SJS website but we’ll give them a ring. I’m guessing BW is the type of shop with “technicians”Sjs, Bridgewater, non?

Found myself in Guildford earlier today, with an hour to spare. Took the opportunity to explore along the River Wey/Downs Link. There’s more Pillboxes per mile than I’ve ever seen!
