Weymouth's Nothe Fort saved from ruin. The story of the historic Victorian fort, now restored 

I was a volunteer here on the restoration in the early 1980’s. The BBC used the fort as a location for the Beau Geste mini series with music composed by Stephen Deutsch who was a lecturer at the Dorset Institute of Higher Education (later Bournemouth University) at the Weymouth campus.

There in March 1978... stayed for 2 nights in one of the bays looking out towards the sea, pretty cool.

Fascinating!

Very interesting! I used to holiday in Weymouth in the late 1950's with my parents and sister- The Nothe by then was empty and the vandals hadn't got access. Yes it was a spooky place to a 6 year old!. I say it was empty, but there was always a light on somewhere on the Portland side- never ever found out why.

I’m very lucky where I live in Weymouth

I was on the Manpower Services Commission team at the Fort many years ago...

I knew yeti and Bob and all in the photo too.
