St. Pauls Bay
No information with this photo but possibly
HMS Guardian (netlayer) on the left with
Italian cruisers Garibaldi & Abruzzi.
This needs verification.

On the 13th April 2011 during
some work on the sea front a digger made a small hole through the pavement
& revealed a chamber which is thought to have been a machine gun
emplacement used in WWII. The site has been reported to Malta Heritage
who are preserving it for the future & hopefully making it viewable
to the public.
On a walk with Andrew Hili in 2013. This shows
the emplacement or at least part of it which was spared the developers
destruction. |

Taken on a walk with Andrew Hili in 2013.
At the end of St.Pauls Bay near Pwales Beach
a gun emplacement can be found near the Olympic games monument.
Sadly neglected & filled with rubbish.
The Bomb Shelter
These are not yet open to the public (2011). In fact in 2013 Andrew Hili showed
me a spot in the road where the entrance is. Nobody would even know it was
there.
Another larger shelter did exist nearby but this has now been destroyed through
excavation.
