 Tilbury Fort, Tilbury,
Located ½ mile E of Tilbury off A126.
Tel: 01375 858489. The artillery fort at Tilbury
protected London until the dawn of the 20th century. Henry VIII
built the first fort and, nearby, Elizabeth I rallied her army
waiting for the Armada. The present fort, the most complete example
of its type in England, was begun in 1672 under Charles II. It
supported powerful artillery to stop warships, a garrison to
repel a land attack, and two magazines that stored vast quantities
of gunpowder. English Heritage. Charges apply. |
