Portsmouth? Sheltered behind it from horizontal rain, one typically English summers day many moons ago...

No. Not sure bathing was a high priority amongst the look out points / fire control stations so popular with the Reich...but then again, why not?

This bath pre-dates WWII.

On the coast defences eh? Cornwall? The point under the castle at Falmouth?

There was a battery on the other side as well, near St Mawes.

No, sorry - my ironic and cretinous response was to re-but the idea of a cast concrete bath forming a necessary part of any large scale defence.

Correct county though - just make your way around the (longish) coastline...

Tintagel? Though I thought King Arfur did not know about concrete. Did not see anything when I was there but I did not see it all.
