Well done Bill Jones 8)
So it is the Magazine for Gun number three at Capel Battery (see site photo below).

The penny finally dropped with the hint  ;)

A magazine at capel at folkstone they have this photograph if you go and talk to the men their. A good walk but they sometimes let you in and chat and other times do not!

"Magazine" - very good.  Something that you might read indeed.  So is John's guess of the Dover Cliffs area near the mark?

John, the date on the photo is 7/8/41, so not cold war, instead a very hot one.  I wondered about the acoustic stations, but the terrain is all wrong.

So, not the radar towers above Dover then.
Underground bunkers during the Cold War?

That's a bit cryptic Beachbum.  Do you mean that we should read the photo ("No3 7-8-41") or is "you might read this" a clue to the place name?  Or alternatively am I way off the mark?
