Shivering Sand Forts
The Shivering Sand Forts about 5 Miles off the North Kent Coast. (You need to hum the War of the Worlds theme when viewing these!)
Fantastic structures looking like an alien invasion. Fascinated by them since I was a kid as they have always been a distant fixture on the horizon, but have never been out to view them until now. Recently they have featured on the BBC Coast Series.
The forts were built during the second World War as anti-aircraft platforms in the Thames estuary to shoot down pesky German bombers which navigated to London using the Thames.
During the 60's became the home for a Pirate Radio Station, Radio City. Talk of them now being refurbished with the establishment of Project Red Sand
