II
Former fort, now marine aquarium, cafeteria and public
conveniences. Built 1852-55 as a result of the invasion scares
of the 1840s. Triangular fort with two seaward batteries
meeting at a right angle. Built of brick consisting of a
series of cambered brick arches, some now having been filled
in with C20 brickwork to form visitor facilities. What remains
is a fragment of the original fort.
