Tilbury Fort

 To Tilbury Fort



The name gives no indication of how immense this place is. Remodelled many times since first constructed in the late 1600s as a gun platform to cover the Thames, it is protected from a landward attack by a series of moats and ramparts. It was used in anger in WWII to house ack-ack guns, and it was given-up by the MoD in 1950.

Main Entrance completed 1682
