They were going to build London's last line of defence on top of Shooters Hill (it would have defended the Dover to London road AKA Watling Street) ... but then the UK and France became friends and it was never built.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-30236106317997954862012-07-25T08:39:32.176+01:002012-07-25T08:39:32.176+01:00Geordie an Exiled FoG,
New Tavern Fort is a very ...Geordie an Exiled FoG,<br /><br />New Tavern Fort is a very interesting place, and is worth an hour of anyone's time to visit.<br /><br />I should have visited it years ago ... but I kept telling myself '<i>it is not that far, so I can go anytime</i>'. In the end it proved to be an excellent place for me to have some 'me' time, which - as you write - is very important, especially when life is a bit hectic and uncertain.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-9902010971672129812012-07-25T01:15:27.413+01:002012-07-25T01:15:27.413+01:00Good use of your 'me' time Bob!
An intere...Good use of your 'me' time Bob!<br /><br />An interesting collection of guns and fortifications, and only 30 minutes from your house.<br /><br />I must have a think and then have a look about my local area. I know that there is Mons Meg at Edinburgh Castle as well as the One O'Clock gun and some smoothbores. There are bound to be others in the area.<br /><br />JimJim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-34949211465931358542012-07-24T23:43:42.000+01:002012-07-24T23:43:42.000+01:00Fascinating post
