StaffordShire has a wealth of miltary stuffs dotted around the place, I cant seem to go on a walk these days without finding some evidence of our past dotted around the place; thought I'd share some my discoveries....

Brick pillbox, Still in good condition side of layby near cannock chase. This pillbox was here as the nearby bridge is one of the few in the country that had the capability of taking the weight of the tanks.
