This Type 24 lies right next to Red Road and faces north-east.  It has steel shutters, metal inserts and a brick blast wall, like the previous box.

[Map ref. ST 2993 5234]

  

The steel shutters are still in place, 67 years on.

  

The semicircular metal inserts can be seen in this photo, two at the top and two at the bottom - to the left and right of the loopholes.
