Gravesend blockhouse

we pop over to Gravesend to play pokemon go π and when we were over at Gravesend we walked past this blockhouse that caught my interest, so I thought ill snap a few photos as it is not very big, the site was interesting to read
So it said back in 1539 the Gravesend blockhouse was built as part of artillery fortification, which was part of Henry VIII's device plan, It was up and running by 1540,
sadly by 1844 the block house was demolished , but between 1975-1976 it got uncovered by archeological excavations
