GHQ-line Bunker Semington

On this site is a bunker of the GHQ Line Blue.

The village of Semington is located on the GHQ Line Blue (GHQ=General Headquarters Line). This was a defensive line built to protect Britain in case of invasion during World War II. The Blue Line followed the Kennet and Avon Canal.

Semington was part of an anti-tank line. It was intended that German tanks would break down on it if invaded. Several Bunkers, Antitank cylinders, Dragon Teeth and remnants of vertically placed railroad tracks can be found in the area.
