CoalHouse Fort Tilbury
Bit of history fom official site
Coalhouse Fort is a Victorian coastal defence fort set in parkland next to the river Thames at East Tilbury, Essex, completed in 1874, to defend the approaches to London from the perceived threat of invasion from France.
It is one of many such forts, referred to as Palmerston Forts. Over the years many of these forts have been demolished or radically altered but Coalhouse, although modified to take more modern armament, has kept much of its original architectural form.
Spigot mortar mount?
Mine Field control tower
Insides not to pretty
Hinges for steel shutters
Moe pics of the radar tower and quick fire battery when my computer sorts its self out.
