Gordon Hill pillbox and anti-tank ‘dragon’s teeth’ are one of the few remaining examples of World War II defences that once surrounded London, built to defend against an expected German invasion in 1940. Artist Joe Robinson of Snapshot Heritage, and John Cole of the Enfield Society, are hosting a drop-in day looking at Pillbox and early war in Enfield.

The session will be staged in the station, before visitors are escorted across the road to visit the pillbox and dragon’s teeth. There will also be a creative experiment to make a small replica of the pillbox, using the same casting process as the original in concrete.

This event is part of Enfield Creatives’ Collection.

This co curated Collection has been made possible with support from the Enfield Society and UKSP funding.
