Cliffe Fort in Kent overlooks the entrance to the River Thames. Completed in 1870, construction was plagued with problems to do with the poor quality of ground, and the final design was smaller, housing ten guns in a mix of casemates and open barbettes as opposed to the planned thirteen. The fort could also accommodate up to 300 soldiers. Housing guns within casemates offered the greatest protection, and the casemates were granite faced and were fitted with iron shutters. A bank and ditch also protected the formidable fort on the exposed sea side.
Under the casemate level were two parallel tunnels, containing the usual features associated with ammunition storage.The lower levels are now badly flooded, while the upper levels and gun casemates are accessible.
By 1899 the fort was armed with two 12.5" RMLs (Rifled Muzzle Loaders), five 11" RMLs, two 4.7" guns or 6" guns in the open Battery, four 4 pdr QF (Quick Fire) guns in new concrete emplacements on the roof and a Brennan Torpedo launching station.
By the Second World War the forts role in coastal defence had diminished and it was primarily a heavy anti-aircraft battery, armed primarily with two 4" BL guns.
The fort was sold in the 1950's and has laid in a worsening state since then. Partly due to subsidence and the ingress of water.
I remember crossings like this from when I was a kid. There were even a few left when I learned to drive, except that they were nowhere near as "level" as this one!

When Nathan said he wanted to design a multi-level campaign, I thought he meant characters of various levels... Wow!
Yay. I actually did get to sit on the second floor of the 747. I was very spacious and generally awesome. They even had a closet space for me to put my new rice cooker in. :)

college a-level work, my 3rd attempt at using photoshop along with a Wacom tablet. I experimented with the light tool in effects which is how i achieved the red glowing effect. This art was influenced by the brief I chose for our personal investigation 'brainwash'. this piece has 2 other drawings that go along with it to tell a non linear story with the word 'brainwash' in mind. the band 'mindless self indulgence' also gave me a lot of ideas on what to incorporate into this drawing.
