Eastbourne, Martello Tower Number 73

Martello Tower Number 73 in Eastbourne in East Sussex (UK) Number 73 is also called The Wish Tower.

 

103 Martello Towers were built mostly in the South East to defend the United Kingdom in the Napoleonic Wars from 1805. Around a third of them still exist. All have been numbered or lettered and this one is number 73. There's several of these historic structures in my home county Essex.
