 Date:   Feb 2023 

Location: Gravesend  

Public or Abandoned: Public

we pop over to Gravesend to play pokemon go  😂  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
