WW2 Mulberry Harbours R Us (Lewes) Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Long Man: This cache appears to have been missing for some time. Would the owner please check this cache and see if it still in place or give an indication of when it may be sorted out. Otherwise it should be archived. If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling it.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.), or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem. You are permitted a reasonable amount of time – generally up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case I don't receive it. Posting a note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

This cache is placed opposite the site of one of the many cement works that produced cement to build the WW2 Mulberry Harbours and other WW2 structures; perhaps including the two pillboxes on the other side of the river.

As a boy I remember watching the cement trains running between here and the main railway line a few hundred yards to the south. Part of the railway line is still there; on the way to the nearby WW2 Rail Block cache. Unfortunately, the track running alongside the nearby river has long gone.

Lots of information on pillboxes and other WW2 defences may be found here: (visit link)
