Day 172/24. Fort Gilkicker.
The foreground structure is Fort Gilkicker. Portsmouth is on the right horizon.
Fort Gilkicker is a historic Palmerston fort built at the eastern end of Stokes Bay, Gosport, Hampshire to dominate the key anchorage of Spithead. It was erected between 1863 and 1871 as a semi-circular arc with 22 casemates, to be armed with five twelve-inch guns, seventeen ten-inch guns and five nine-inch guns.
But no more, it is now being converted into a group of £1,000,000 plus apartments. Extra image gives a wider view with my big drone.
