Strategically positioned on the northern banks at the entrance to the River Tyne, Tynemouth (Castle) Battery was the primary coastal defences protecting the important industrial centre of Newcastle. Almost in constant use since the 18th Century, what remains today is a selection of infrastructure representative of the last 150 years of coastal artillery development.
The earliest remains on site are the northernmost of six positions, constructed in 1893 to mount a 6 inch BL Mark. VI gun. This was one of two original BL guns on the site.
The next major upgrade to the battery was in 1902 when two 6 inch BL Mk. VII guns were installed, and two 12 pounder positions were also constructed, directly covering the entrance to the river against smaller, faster moving craft. Finally in 1904 a single 9.2 inch BL Mk. X position was constructed, destroying one of the earlier 6 inch positions.
The site was decommissioned in 1956 with the disbandment of the Coastal Artillery Regiment.
The site was operational during both the First World War and Second World War, with no major rebuilding of the battery structures.
While little evidence remains of the associated structures within the castle walls, the magazines and stores for the selection of armaments do remain. The site is under the custodianship of English Heritage who have sympathetically restored aspects of the battery and which can be visited.

Susy took this of me when I was taking my "Mosaic" shot..I like it for inexplicable reasons, really.
i like the contrast in cultural interpretations of gossip positions: the brits looking staid and proper.
Even the turtle doesn' t see how that can possibly be a comfortable way to sleep. Seems to work for the coot however.

Competitors from across the United States traveled to Fort Benning, Georgia to compete in USA Shooting's 2019 Rifle and Pistol Spring Selection Match. The week-long event had athletes seeking the top positions in 10m Air Pistol, 10m Air Rifle, Three-Position Smallbore, and Sport Pistol. Winners will not only walk away with a medal but with the ticket to compete in the upcoming World Cup and Pan Am Games. (U.S. Army photos by Michelle Lunato)
The media have this nice overlook of the White House. Several stations can be side by side with these neat little studio locations.

Positioned here to Defend Middleton Bridge crossing the Minsmere New Cut is a standard Type-22 Pillbox, often flooded in the winter when the river overflows. There is a Full Height Entrance, probably fitted with a door at one time, this is protected by an L-Shaped Blast Wall which has a Pistol Loophole. The interior has a Y-Shaped Anti-Ricochet Wall but was flooded. The Stepped Embrasures have a Steel Plate above, which is quite common around the Suffolk Coastal area. There are no signs of any brickwork, and the lines in the walls suggest it was constructed with wooden shuttering, condition looks really good. There is a newly constructed fence so can't be seen when passing anymore.
A standard Type-22 Pillbox is a regular hexagon in plan with a Loopholes/Embrasures in five of the sides and a Full or Half-Height Entrance, sometimes with a porch in the other. The Loopholes are suitable for rifles or light machine guns. Some have a low entrance that allows an extra Loopholes above. Each wall is about 6ft long and it was generally built to the bullet proof standard of 12in thick, although shellproof versions with walls around 40in thick were also built. Internally there is either a Y or T Shaped Anti-Ricochet Wall (the top of the Y/T nearest the entrance) the internal wall also helps support the roof. The Type-22 Pillbox is the second most common pillbox type with 1,347 recorded as being extant. It is easily confused with the common Type-24, which is an irregular hexagon and the less common octagonal shape.

Arthropod
Position: Madame Monster’s creation
Age: 37
Nationality: Canadian
Education: MD from John Hopkin’s
Skills: Tremendous strength and stamina with no need for sustenance or rest. Near impossible to kill or even injure significantly. Insectoid eye grants extremely good night vision. Insectoid claw can exert crushing force in excess of 600 pounds.
Relevant Information: Fatal explosion in the lab of Dr. Estelle Carter left her and entire staff dead. Bodies stolen by Madame Monster post-autopsy. Dr. Carter resurrected with combination of human and genetically altered insect and reptilian parts. Carter’s mind was regenerated and some memories recovered, but psyche was shattered by the shock of her transformation. Now serves Mdme. Monster and is often in a fugue-like state.
Psychological Profile: Occasional glimpses of Dr. Carter’s personality occur in quiet moments, but Arthropod is mostly a loyal drone for Rising Nacht. Makes attempts to hold on to some semblance of humanity in lucid interludes, but, once set loose, becomes a dangerous monster with ruthless, violent outbursts.
