Description


Tilbury Fort

Tilbury Fort is on the north, Essex, bank of the River Thames and was built to defend London from attack from the sea, particularly during the Spanish Armada and the Anglo-Dutch Wars. The defences were fully rebuilt as a bastion fort in the late seventeenth century and it is the finest surviving example of the military architecture of that era in England. The site is now cared for by English Heritage and open to the public.
