Coalhouse Fort
Coalhouse Fort was built between 1861 and 1874 – partly under the direction of General Gordon (of Khartoum) – and was one of a number of forts built to fortify the Thames estuary. It stands within a large area of parkland and features several World War 2 gunnery posts.
Coalhouse Fort does not currently have open days, guided tours or general opening for the public.
