Garrison Point Fort, Military fort in Sheerness, England
The fort features a semi-circular structure with two gun floors protected by iron shields at the junction of River Medway and Thames.
Built between 1861 and 1872, the fort formed part of British coastal defenses against potential French naval attacks in the Victorian period.
The Grade II listed building represents nineteenth-century military engineering and maintains strong connections to local maritime traditions of Sheerness.
Located within the operational port area, the structure remains closed to visitors and currently experiences gradual deterioration under Medway Ports ownership.
This fort stands as one of only two double-tiered casemated fortifications constructed during the 1860s in Great Britain.
