The structure was built in 1940 and had been left “at risk of being lost forever”
Repair work on one of Watford’s three pillboxes, near High Elms Manor in Garston, is nearing completion.
The Garston Pillbox was built in 1940 and had been left “at risk of being lost forever”, according to Watford Borough Council. The council and a chartered architect, Kevin O'Callaghan, undertook the project to repair and preserve it.Councillor Tim Williams said: “The Garston Pillbox, is an important historic structure, and it’s great it has been restored to its original condition, so it can be shared and enjoyed by the public.“As with a lot of things it had fallen into disrepair over the years, with much of the brick work removed, metalwork falling off and invasive weeds causing it to break apart.
