Pillbox Bristol
This casemate is located on top of a tobacco warehouse. During World War II, these bunkers were used for the defense of the United Kingdom against a possible enemy invasion. They were built in 1940 and into 1941.
This is more likely to be a Firewatchers Post rather than a pillbox, according to the Defence of Britain Online.
