Fort Paull, Historical military fort in Paull, England
Fort Paull features pentagonal architecture with protected gun emplacements connected through underground tunnels and two ammunition storage magazines built in 1864.
The earliest defense structure at this location dates from 1542 during Henry VIII's reign, while the current fort was constructed between 1861 and 1864.
The site transformed from a military installation to a museum in 2000, displaying military artifacts and hosting historical reenactments until its closure in 2020.
The fort reopened to visitors in September 2024, beginning with a classic car exhibition and plans for regular public events.
The fort contained the last surviving Blackburn Beverley Transport aircraft until 2020, when the museum's contents were sold at auction.
