No Man's Land Fort - Spithead
No Man's Land Fort - Spithead
This Victorian Sea Fort was expensively converted to a private dwelling, a few years ago, complete with helicopter pad. It has been up for sale for some time with apparently no takers. The paint work is already beginning to deteriorate due to the extreme exposure to sea air. There were 4 people fishing from it as we went past
