WW2 Spigot Mortar Emplacement

Uploader's Comments

This Spigot Mortar Emplacement is just beside the B184 road, Leaden Roding. It is one of 3 within about 150 yards, There is only around 18 inches showing above ground it has been filled in and levelled over the years. The stainless steel spigot on the top is in perfect condition hard to believe it's been there 70 years. I was told by a local, who has one in his garden, that there are others nearby. They were for WW2 Home Guard use.
