Bunkers at RN Sorel B (Sorel Point)

Following my last posting looking at RN Sorel A on the other side of the quarry, it's time to look at RN Sorel B and the M4 Obs Post. In contrast to the other Sorel Resistance Nest, everything here is clearly on show.

A gun pit right by the lower car park...

.. looking back, with the motocross track and quarry behind. Something obviously rotated here, but what was the bolted down square shape all about? I can't picture that at all, maybe one of my expert readers will help?

Right nearby, a shelter with two entrances...

.. both well and truly sealed up.

Down the track with railings at the side, here we have Sorel Light...

.. and in front of it, one of the islands' coastal observation bunkers, this one numbered M4.

Near the tourist-o-scope, looking towards RN Sorel A over the quarry.

From a little lower down the path...

.. it's clear where the obs slits have been sealed up. Can any expert tell us what the holes were for, please?

On the quarry side there's an opening to stick the camera into... and...

.. interesting graffiti from years gone by! The doorway on the right has steps up to the top level. Shame this one is sealed. I wonder if it could be given a new lease of life as one of the holiday lets?
