ALSO SOME QUITE DEEP PITS WITH TRENCH LIKE JOINS BETWEEN. ALSO SIX OR MORE U/G PITS/STORE CHAMBERS. THESE WERE CONSTRUCTED BY DIGGING A 4' WIDE x 10' LONG (APPROX) PIT, COVERING WITH PILE SHEETING & CONSTRUCTING AN ENTRANCE IN CONCRETE WITH A SQUARE MANHOLE SIZE ENTRANCE AT ONE END & A SMALL VENT SHAFT AT THE OTHER. ITS DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DEPTH OF THESE CHAMBERS BUT BETWEEN 5' POSSIBLY 6'. INSIDE CHICKEN WIRE WAS POSITIONED AGAINST THE WALL, WITH SACKCLOTH BETWEEN IT TO PREVENT WALL SLIPPAGE, AS THE WALLS WERE NOT SHORED! THE FEW OBSERVED WERE IN ONE SMALL AREA. ALTHOUGH THE TRUE PURPOSE FOR THESE CHAMBERS IS UNKNOWN IT IS GUESED THAT THESE WERE FOR AMMUNITION STORAGE FOR AN EARLY FORM OF AUXILLIARY UNIT? ONCE THE ARMY HAD MOVED INTO THE AREA THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABANDONED? SEE PHOTOGRAPHS:

SAND BAGGED (SQUARE) DEFENCE POSITION TM34 NW. 3340.4715 NEAR BOUNDARY FENCE SOUTH-WEST CORNER:
SECTION FROM REPORT NOVEMBER 1997:
ANOTHER DEFENCE POSITION ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF RAF WOODBRIDGE (SEE SKETCH). THIS WAS CONSTRUCTED USING CONCRETE SEWER/WATER PIPES, SUNK INTO THE GROUND. INSIDE THIS POSITION THERE WAS ANOTHER PIPE (MAN SIZE, CRAWLING), WHICH I BELIEVE WAS ANOTHER ENTRANCE OR ESCAPE TUNNEL. THE ROOF WAS SUPPORTED BY A NUMBER OF BRICK PIERS WHICH SAT ON SPECIALLY BUILT STEEL TRAYS. THE TRAYS SAT ON THE LIP OF THE UPRIGHT SEWER/WATER PIPE.

WOODBRIDGE GOLF CLUB, DEFENCES WW2 (BROMESWELL HEATH, SUFFOLK).
DURING WW1 SOLDIERS WERE BILLITED IN THE GOLF CLUB HOUSE. WW2 WILFORD BRIDGE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE CRUTIAL FOR THE DEFENCE OF AN ENEMY APPROACHING FROM BAWDSEY OR ORFORD. ALTHOUGH INFANTRY DIARIES STATE THIS THEY GIVE NO CLUE TO THEIR LOCATION, HOWEVER THERE IS A PILLBOX AT TM 293501, SQUARE TYPE. BEHIND WHICH ARE THREE BUILDING BASES POSSIBLY AMMUNITION STORES & QUARTERS/SHELTERS FOR THOSE ON GUARD. THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO PICKET POSTS IN THIS AREA. THE REMAINS OF A PILLBOX WHICH WAS LOCATED AT APPROX TM 295501 LIE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BANK. A FURTHER PILLBOX IS SITUATED AT TM 29435006 (TYPE 22). SEE PHOTOGRAPHS & LOOPHOLES No 38. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CONCRETE REMAINS ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE GOLF CLUB, WHICH COULD BE CLUB REMAINS OR DEFENCE? SEE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH IN GOLF CLUB BOOK (FILE W). OLD CARS & SCAFFOLDING POLES WERE PLACED ON THE COURSE TO PREVENT ENEMY PARACHUTISTS OR GLIDERS LANDING :
