Visited as part of an Open Day on 29 September 2018.
Construction started in 1877 as one of a series of defences to protect the strategically important docks at Chatham. After a few setbacks and delays, the fort was completed in 1892 and the finished construction was considerably smaller than the original plan. The only excavations to be dug were those of the ditch, from which the earth was used to cover the exposed structures inside the fort. The ditch was concrete lined and the final feature to be installed was the rare rolling drawbridge.
The fort was purely defensive, and was never armed (like most 'forts' of the time), but would have been armed and manned in the event of a national crisis. Ironically, by the time the series of fortifications were completed they were outdated and obsolete.
