Tilbury Fort /unrestored bits
History
Tilbury Fort, also known historically as the Thermitage Bulwark and the West Tilbury Blockhouse, is an artillery fort on the north bank of the River Thames in England. The earliest version of the fort, comprising a small blockhouse with artillery covering the river, was constructed by King Henry VIII to protect London against attack from France as part of his Device programme. It was reinforced during the 1588 Spanish Armada invasion scare, after which it was reinforced with earthwork bastion, and Parliamentary forces used it to help secure the capital during the English Civil War of the 1640sHistory

This was a night time explore. Very overgrown areas, and I got stung quite a bit. But hey ho, I wanted to see what I could get to, which wasnt much in the dark. Another visit may be on the cards here. Anyway the few photos I did take.
