Current condition
Demolished / No longer exists
Date completed

The wartime map shows this pillbox on the pre-reclamation shoreline.

I don't know if there are any traces of the pillbox remaining, but if you have any memories or photos of where it was and how it looked, please leave a comment below.

I looked around the area where I thought the pillbox should be, but couldn't see any sign of it.

There is a photo on page 6 of the book 'War Relics In The Green' titled 'A pillbox at Telegraph Bay which will soon be demolished'. The pillbox in the photo isn't pillbox 4, as it has the round periscope tower on top like other machine-gun pillboxes around the coast.

So I assume pillbox 5 no longer exists.

I took the bunker photo around 2003 , that time the cyberpot is still a construction site ( office area just finish )

 

according to villager that time this pillbox 005 was destroyed already ( It's on the side of the road ) .
