Granite and Brick
This Victorian Coast Defence Battery is a unique structure, functional, but elegant, with its huge granite sea-facing gun casemates and brick barrack rooms. The granite casemates have been covered with earth since 1904 and will not be visible again until the fort is restored to its former glory.
