Slough Fort, Victorian coastal fort in Allhallows, England
The D-shaped military structure contains seven casemates positioned along the curved front, facing the River Thames and the strategic estuary approach points.
Constructed in 1867 during tensions with France, the fort served as a defensive position to protect the Thames from potential enemy landings until decommissioning in 1920.
The Grade II* listed building represents military engineering of the Victorian era and demonstrates the technological changes in coastal fortification during the 19th century.
Guided tours of the fort allow visitors to explore the casemates, wing batteries, and various rooms that showcase military life during different periods.
The fort operates as an educational center focused on paranormal investigations, attracting researchers interested in investigating over 150 years of military history.
