Join us at Slough Fort based in Kent
Slough Fort is a
small artillery fort that was built at Allhallows-on-Sea in
the north of the Hoo Peninsulain Kent. Constructed in 1867,
the D-shaped fort was intended to guard a vulnerable stretch of the River Thames against
possible enemy landings during a period of tension with France.
Its seven casemates
initially accommodated rifled breech loading guns, which were
replaced by the turn of the century by more powerful breech-loaders on
disappearing carriages, mounted in concrete wing batteries on either side of
the fort. It was likely one of the smallest of the forts constructed as a
result of the 1860s invasion scare.
All of the guns were removed by
1912, though the fort continued in use during the First World
War as a command post. It was decommissioned in 1920 and sold
off in 1929.
