North Weald Mobilisation Centre
13 Mobilisation Centres were built between 1889 and 1903 as part of the London Defence Scheme. These were not planned as forts although some of them would have been armed on mobilisation. Their main function was as a store for guns, small arms ammunition, tools and other equipment required for the batteries and infantry allocated for the defence of the neighbourhood in the event of a foreign invasion. The casemates could also be used as barrack accommodation.
Pictures from a couple of visits, once with a few off forum people and the others from a trip with UrbanX and Em_UX.
Finally found the other turret last time we went.
Thanks for looking
