Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Article on the historical background and survey during 1995 of fortifications at Brean Down headland to the south of Weston-super-Mare. The first defences were constructed in the late 1860s with seven guns supplied from underground magazines; to the east were two accommodation blocks that ran along the edge of a ditch cutting off the end of the headland. The southern end of the battery was damaged by an explosion in 1900 and decommissioned; the buildings were used as a tearoom until taken into military hands during the Second World War. Two large concrete gun houses were built over some of the earlier positions, and large numbers of ancillary buildings were constructed. | ||||||||
