    Ancient defences
    Defeated by erosion.
    Broken in the sand

    Cayton Bay in North Yorkshire is almost uniquely home to several pill boxes. Some are still on the cliff, some crashed and broken on the sandy beach, and a couple precariously balanced waiting for the last few feet of cliff erosion to send them crashing down. They were built as potential sea defences in WW2, to protect the coast from potential invaders.
