At the height of battle this building / bunker looks like it was where every thing was coordinated from. Not sure if the steel triangle on the floor held a search light or gun? There was different levels to this building and underground sections.
Landguard Fort is a fort at the mouth of the River Orwell outside Felixstowe, Suffolk, designed to guard the mouth of the river.
In 1667, the Dutch, landed a force of 2,000 men on Felixstowe beach in front of (what is now called) Undercliff Road East and advanced on to the fort, but were repulsed by Nathaniel Darrel and his garrison of 400 musketeers of the Duke of York & Albany's Maritime Regiment (the first Royal Marines).
This was the last opposed invasion of England.
The Fort has been rebuilt and remodelled many times and after a long and fascinating history is now owned by English Heritage.
