Ravelin battery was on the seafront where part of Tesco's car park is now.

Part of Tesco's car park stands here now.

I know you weren't trying to be funny mate but that was almost as good as your 'old turd in a pillbox' gag.

Nice to be seeing some old pics surfacing on here again Colin, thanks

If you look carefully on this old postcard at centre left you can see the ravelin guns in full camo paint

RichCooper · Aug 20, 2011

Great pic Loving how the "camo paint" makes em stand out a mile

colin haggart · Aug 20, 2011

If you look at the bottom right hand side of Oldsctrote's post where the numbers are is a machine gun post, or so I was told.

They actually demolished it for those scumsuckers?

That makes me so angry.

Nice report, Colin. Always good to see some before and after pics...shame about the after, though.
Cheers.

Foxylady, we used to have a ferry service to Holland, from the Dockyard behind my photos, the idea was that visiters would go to tesco's for shopping, but the ferry service stopped sometime after tesco's was built, so that's why it's on the seafront.
