In this episode I'm exploring in the United Kingdom with Andy and Jacques.
Our mission is to explore the Humber forts which got built at the start of WWI and got upgraded and used in WWII to protect against German attacks.

the room with the glass window inside would be for explosives storage. it wouldn't have any lights or metal objects inside in case of accidental ignition. there would be a passage on the other side of the wall to allow you to place a lantern inside the window to illuminate the room safely.

@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath 10 месяцев назад

Ahhhh !!! Thanks for the explanation that makes sense. Good to know for the future😄

@northerndaddyo 10 месяцев назад

That would be the case if you were talking about a Victorian era fort,these were built in the First World War and are wired for electric power and lighting.

@@Little_iracky that’s why the clever old sausages put the switch outside the room,no WW2 gun batteries/forts were using an oil lamp to light the magazines since the invention of the electric light bulb 🤭

I have spent MANY weekends on the Bull Sand Fort when it belonged to the charity was part of, in fact some of my gear is still there! It was sold recently for £495,000 so is still private property. Haille Sand Fort was a private residence until about 2010, then the occupants left and it was put up for sale. I don't think it sold. You must NEVER try to walk to Haille fort from Cleethorpes, several people have died trying, getting stuck and drowning in the many quicksand holes between the beach and the fort.

@acid3129 10 месяцев назад

My grandad was stationed on one of these forts in ww2 he was an AA gunner the one he was on had 30 other guys stationed and once a week had supply's shipped out . His friend died while there he got ill and the weather was bad so it took 3 days to get a boat out to them . He transfered to Stranraer in Scotland and became a radio mechanic fixing radio systems on the flying boats used to hunt submarines in the Atlantic
