Next for the competition is my castle submission. This is Southsea Castle, also historically also known as Chaderton Castle, South Castle and Portsea Castle. It is an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII on Portsea Island, Hampshire, in 1544.
Like @OzoneVibe castle, it also formed part of the King’s Device programme to protect against invasion from and defended the Solent and the eastern approach to Portsmouth.
In tha background is Spitbank Fort which was built in the 1850’s as part of Palmerston protection of Portsmouth (Palmerston Follies). I would love to fly out there but still leaning and developing my confidence!
