A rare piece of wartime history is opening to the public for the first time since 1945. A refurbished pillbox -- once used to defend Filton's vital aircraft factories -- is being unveiled at Aerospace Bristol, marking 85 years since the devastating Filton Blitz. Built during the height of World War Two, these small concrete bunkers were crucial in protecting against enemy attacks. Now, this newly restored landmark offers a glimpse into Filton's frontline role in Britain's war effort.
