Show on map Presumably part of the defences of Thornaby Aerodrome, there are two pillboxes in the woodland between Ingleby Barwick and Thornaby.
One out in the open still has the metal mounting points for guns.
The second is a short distance to the North-west at the edge of woodland
Show on map Not technically a wartime relic as its a fibre glass replica, but a great reminder of the fact the whole of Thornaby is built over Thornaby Aerodrome. The plane was erected in March 2007, one side depicts resident 608 squadron while the other the Canadian Air Force 401 squadron that flew Spitfires from Thornaby during WW2.
There are a number of plaques surrounding the roundabout giving more details on 608 Squadron
