Humber Forts, Sea fort in Humber Estuary, England.
The Humber Forts consist of Bull Sand Fort and Haile Sand Fort, two concrete fortifications positioned at the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
Construction of these military structures began in 1915 as a response to German naval attacks on British coastal towns during World War I.
The Grade II Listed Building status of Bull Sand Fort recognizes its role in protecting British maritime trade through the ports of Hull and Grimsby.
Access to Bull Sand Fort requires transportation by boat or helicopter, as it stands three miles from Grimsby in challenging maritime conditions.
Engineers installed a steel mesh barrier between the two forts to prevent enemy submarines from entering the estuary during wartime operations.
