Hi, thanks for your very useful contribution to the page on the Coquet Stop Line. I have adjusted it slightly as the formatting didn't seem to be working - please don't think that I have edited what you have contributed. I like your N-S hypothesis for the West Thirston & Morwick Pillboxes - perhaps this was the back line to the Coastal Crust? Certainly it would go some way to explaining the anomalous location of the Brainshaugh Pillbox... the only other location N of the river at Hepple is because the river has moved. My only objections to the hypothesis are these: 1) if West Thirston is not on the Coquet Stop Line, then we are missing any data East of the Catheugh Plantation Pillbox - granted that West Moor and Felton boxes are recorded (?) as having been destroyed, there should still be more evidence on the far side of Felton, unless the Stop Line only ran as far as the Coastal Crust. 2) although the other boxes on the Coquet Stop Line are coherently numbered, I'm afraid I don't yet fully understand how this numbering works, as a Pillbox I visited today just S of Mitford on the Wansbeck Stop Line (I might get around to building a page for this line too at some stage) appears to have the numer P349. Any thoughts? I look forward to your thoughts and to working with you on this ongoing research.
