Landguard fort

There have been a number of fortifications built on Landguard Point over the years. In 1543 Henry VIII had two blockhouses built which rapidly deteriorated.

Over the following 200 years there were numerous changes made to the location including the use of brick built forts and the addition of a pentagon shaped fort with Bastions.

Later in 1871 yellow bricks were in use all the earlier internal structure was demolished making way for a seven gun casemate facing the river including newer accommodation blocks.

Throughout most of the 20th century the fort was used largely as accommodation Barracks and in 1951 the gun casemates were converted into cold war control rooms.

Finally in 1956 the use of coastal artillery was no longer required and the fort was sealed and left to decay until the English Heritage took its care into hand leaving the fort as you see it today.

Spectral activity at the fort was recorded by the Army as long ago as the 1750's and as recently as the 1940's. Since the Army left in 1956 there have been many reported events. Recently, aural phenomena have been reported by visitors
