Nodes Point Battery, Artillery battery in St Helens, England
The coastal defense structure features multiple gun emplacements positioned along the shoreline, with concrete fortifications designed for military operations against naval threats.
Constructed in 1904, Nodes Point Battery contained two 9.2-inch and two 6-inch breech loading guns to protect the Solent area during periods of potential invasion.
The battery represents early 20th-century British military engineering and stands as a testament to the defensive preparations made during pre-war England.
Visitors can reach the former military installation through coastal footpaths that connect to St Helens, offering views of the surrounding waters.
The battery's conversion from an active military post to a holiday park demonstrates the transformation of defense structures into recreational spaces.
