emplacement

Here’s a couple of minor Dover sites that we came across on the way to other explores. They don’t merit a report in their own right, but if you put them together there’s just about enough to make a report. Visited in a long day in Dover with @Bikin Glynn and two other non-forum members. 1. East...

Scremerston Gun Emplacement at Cocklawburn near Berwick upon Tweed This was built on the elevated site of a previous kiln battery where lime was produced until the early 1900's. It is built on the top of a spoil heap in an old limestone quarry right on the coast and can be seen for...

I apologise in advance for the quality of photos. I was not particularly thinking of framing, lighting etc. during this time. I will also ensure I do not get people in the shots in future reports. Often visited the Coalhouse Fort as a kid with my family and heard my Dad mention about...

Below is a link to a short video I shot this afternoon of a German gun battery overlooking St. Aubin in Jersey. I don't know too much about the Island's German fortifications but I believe the location of this site had been lost until fairly recently when a visitor fell from the cliff on which...

I found out about this little place just before I went on my holidays, we were in the area so I decided to go down and check it out. Placed upon the dunes of Budle Bay, this little bunker would have had a large field gun inside which could be used to kill any attacking forces. Mounting plate...

Roydon Cold War Heavy Anti-Aircraft Gun Site There are Emplacements of a four gun 3.7 or 4.5 heavy anti-aircraft gun site together with a Generator Block & Operations Block.

Paid a visit to this today with dumptyboy to check out the undergound magazine at the emplacement. Due to this being located next to a LNG terminal security soon asked us what we were doing when we arrived, after telling them and getting the ok from them we went down to get some pics. However on...

After spending a day in Dover visiting the usual suspects we decided to have a look at something different. To be honest I'd be wanting to see as cross channel gun position for a while and now was the chance. There were Two 15 in guns at the Wanstone Battery in Dover they were known as Clem...

Hi All, Visited the Spurn Point Defence Emplacements today, these are derelict buildings abandonded after the Second World War, the peninsula is still used by the RNLI Lifeboat Service and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a protected coastline. Now the area is a nature reserve and...

I really wasn’t expecting any of this. It was marked as a museum on my map, and it is one but there is no indication that real stuff was accessible. Pay your 11 bucks in the cafe and you get a guided tour of the place. After a walk through the woods past monuments etc you get the feeling...

With a few hours to dispose of I paid a visit to the above. Having lived here for 26 years and I never knew it was there until a friends dad mentioned it to me last week :D Ill shut up and let the pictures speak for themselves - This is what they...
