Aylesford Pillbox - Kent ( Nr Aylesford bridge )

While I was searching for pillboxes in the Maidstone area, I decided to check on maps to see what I could find. I came across this pillbox and another one nearby. Unfortunately, this pillbox has been filled with loads of rubbish, which detracts from its charm. 

It is located on a public footpath near Aylesford Bridge. Although I'm unsure of its exact style, I can assume that it was used in WWII and probably built around 1940-1941, similar to most other pillboxes from that time.

I visited this second pillbox randomly while looking for others to explore in the area. It was easy to get to because it was on a footpath along a nature walk. It's a shame that it's a bit burnt out and overgrown. 

I'm not sure which pillbox this is, as I couldn't find much information about it.
