	History of Coalhouse Fort
		Coalhouse Fort is a Victorian coastal defence fort set in parkland next to the river Thames at East Tilbury, Essex in the United Kingdom.
		The fort was completed in 1874, on the site of previous gun batteries, to defend the approaches to London from the perceived threat of invasion from France and other continental powers.
		Since 1983 the fort has been leased to the Coalhouse Fort Project, a voluntary organisation, who have rescued the building from total dereliction and as a result the fort can be opened to the public at certain times during the year.

	Walk #285: Stone to Cliffe
		The second fort that I came across was the remaining section of wall from Shornemead Fort.
		The fort is in the grounds of a working quarry, and it is a sort of green oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the quarry, with trees and ivy growing all around it.
		This is the Shornemead Fort, and was quite an imposing structure.

		It's a lovely walk along the shore and round to Cliffe Fort, built in 1859 as part of the Thames' defences.
