We took the bus to West Malling in search of the tower. Upon arrival, we found it easily thanks to a plaque that identified its significance. As we approached, we noticed a gap under the fence, which allowed us to crawl through and explore the area around the tower. Our visit was brief but enjoyable.
This structure is recognized as an anti-aircraft gun tower, commonly referred to as a Pickett-Hamilton fort, featuring a Type 24 pillbox. It played a crucial role during World War II as part of the WM airfield that once existed on King Hill.
