SX9049 : Brownstone Battery, near Kingswear
near to Kingswear, Devon, Great Britain
Brownstone Battery, near Kingswear
The rail lines down to the gun emplacement are intact after well over half a century. I imagine that there was winding gear or motive power, given the steepness of the incline. No doubt some military expert will be able to correct this if it is wrong. Presumably ammunition was stored above and was brought down as necessary.
