Defence of Britain Project
www.britarch.ac.uk/projects/dob/index.html
The Defence of Britain Project, which ran from April 1995 to March 2002 under the auspices of the Council for British Archaeology, recorded nearly 20,000 20th-century military sites in the UK. The final report on the project is now available online at the above website, and the two databases developed by the Project can be searched online through the Archaeology Data Service at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/resources.html?dob.

grahammatthews/homepage.htm
The Pillbox Study Group describes itself as 'a group for those who believe that that "history" did not end with the dawning of the 20th century and that defences and fortifications built of concrete are important, as well as those built of stone or brick.' In addition to information about the 18,000 pillboxes built to resist Hitler's planned invasion of Britain, its website contains a range of information about second world war defence structures and related topics here and abroad.

Trenches on the Web

This website looks a bit clunky and old-fashioned now, mainly because it was one of the first on this subject and has never been redesigned. But it's still one of the main resources for anyone with an interest in the first world war.
