Marked on 1905 map as 'Ball Court' and unlikely to be small arms range, as one existed in Seaton Sluice.

Pillbox on top of a searchlight. Possibly dates back to 1stWW? Certainly it appears on the 1927 photos.

This building seems to still be there in 2013. Not very pretty.

Hi Alisdair,



Could you let people know what the acronyms stand for? Maybe with a link to a Thesaurus term or archaeological record from the Defence of Britain project dataset if one exists? Would be useful to get a bit of context!

Certainly - CASL is a coast artillery search light emplacement - similar to the position seen here http://www.skylighters.org/slimages3/scapaflowlightlg.jpg the emplacement would often have steel doors to protect the light when not in use
