    Lovely surprise no idea it had been taken in hand and restored. Was there twenty years plus ago and was very sad to see how sorry it all looked. Just great

    Superb. Being a bit of a military history 'buff' nice to see these important relics being restored and not forgotten. Thankyou Bald Explorer ! :)

    Great video, have you ever been to Newhaven fort? That's really interesting over there

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  7 років тому +1

      I haven't. I haven't even been to Newhaven, but I aim to rectify that. I hope to cover a few more forts actually, now I have this one as a demo of what I can do.

    • @Gez-C

      Think you should head to the fort for sure, have been there several times and well worth a visit, if you did go down and want company then let me know will join you :)

    • @RichardVobes

      pastyhead80 Sounds great. I need to check it out.

    Great. This kind of thing seems like the natural progression of why you have been doing.

      I don't know any more about the stolen gun.

    Lived in Shoreham in the 50's and knew of it but not "open" to the public then.

    Very interesting again. Must have taken a long time for local labourers to build that fort. How long did it take to build?

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  7 років тому

      I am not sure Ian. I think a couple of years.

    • @albertcollins6364

      Ian The fort was a prototype to all the Palmerston Forts and so had to be built quickly. The fort therefore was built in only 6 months 😳
