Spitbank Fort.

Building on this fort and two others started in 1861 and was completed in 1878, it was built to defend Portsmouth harbour. In 1962 it was declared surplus to requirements. It was then bought and renovated and turned in to a hotel with 50 rooms and its own ballroom.

In 2002 it was used as a location for 'Banged up with Beadle' in which Jeremy Beadle was locked up in its dungeons for 6 weeks for a survival show, I'm not going to comment on that.

Oh and of course I have tonemapped the picture as the original looked a bit dull.
