Inside the Heugh Battery
Inside the Heugh Battery
A wide range of artillery pieces and a Challenger Tank are on display. The building on the left is the Command Post which directed fire from the gun on the battery. Close by is the site of the first attack on the UK in the First World War, where shells from a German warship fell. It also marked the first casualty of that war.
