Shornemead Fort - Gravesend

Shornemead Fort 

Date: September

Location: Gravesend

Public or Abandoned: public

Demolished:  No

Today, we decided to explore a fort that we had seen many times online. We were excited to see what it was like in person, but unfortunately, we were not able to fully explore it. The tunnels were flooded and inaccessible.

The fort was built in 1860 to protect the Thames from sea attacks. It was disarmed between 1896 and 1907, and was abandoned after World War II. It was eventually demolished in the 1960s.
