Filmed on the Sony A7 IV with our 14mm & 24-70 lens.
Really well shot and captures the Viaduct and pillbox well. It's a lovely place to visit.
Keep up the great work guys amazing content :)
Nice to see this as I grew up here!
We've had this local war walk on our radar for quite some time but still not got round to doing it.. Nice to see some of the pillboxes are clearly being looked after.. Exceptionally good video as usual.. hope u dont mind us sharing it to our page..👍😊
Short but another banger of a video from you guys thanks for sharing this 👍
Seems an odd place to build defences so far inland.Nice to see it's relatively graffitti free ,for a change.
Just a point Stockport viaduct is the largest brickbuilt structure in the UK (and Western Europe).,not Battersea Power Station.
Thanks for this
Thanks, interesting film and commentary! Marvellous brick work viaduct, wasn't aware it was in Essex. I'm curious now to look up the history. It's a timely reminder of WW2 defences, and what people would have faced if there'd been an invasion. Still a lot of pillboxes around my area, some near the railway lines and also former RAF Hornchurch Airfield. Have you guys had a look in Wat Tyler Park at Vange? Pillboxes and river defences for the creeks coming off the Thames. 👍
Thank you! We have another video on our channel that takes a look at the former RAF Hornchurch site and we're currently working on a video of the history of Wat Tyler, so watch this space!
Interesting.
2:03 That steel cap can't be 80+ years old un that condition. Nice film
Why not if it's made from stainless steel?
@@chrisplunkett2814 S/s won't survive 80+ years exposure to the weather in this condition
Have you guys seen the Pillar Box next to the railway line between Benfleet & Pitsea? you can only reach it from the fields but it does look in good condition.
We have indeed and have an article on that and some of the other ones in the area: beyondthepoint.co.uk/bowers-gifford-pillboxes/
Y’all should go to the church hit by a v1 out near pluckley very interesting
Pluckley in Kent?
@@BeyondthePoint yeah it’s called little chart old church awesome place
Nice footage 👌 We had talked about this location and were even recording in the area recently but were hindered by time...and battery power. Was the pillbox accessible?
Yep, you can walk right into it
