Palmerston Fort - Sandown Barrack Battery

Palmerston Fort - Sandown Barrack Battery
Sandown, United Kingdom (GB)
Constructed of stone with armoured casemates close to the beach in the centre of Sandown Bay with eighteen 9" guns. Its defences were strengthened by the construction of additional batteries at Yaverland, Sandown Barrack and Redcliff and nine 10" RML guns. The fort was sold in about 1930 and after partial demolition and use as a private zoo only a small part of the original structure is still visible.
