No Signals Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 A few pics of the battery you can't normally have access to. Unfortunately I couldn't negotiate access to the inside of the underground structures so had to satisfy myself with photos taken through windows in to darkened places at times. Some surprising and interesting details showed up! The battery has been there since Napoleonic times but has been repeatedly upgraded at important times and so shows evidence from both world wars. Now in possession of EH and although obviously maintained there are no plans that I am aware of to open it to the general public. If anyone else knows different let us know.

Great War truck Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I love it around there. This is St Mawes from the other side. Just down from Pendennis (and very close to the water) are the remains of these batterys: And another, partially dismantled. Swords into ploughshears (or is that picnic tables). I cant help but think that (assuming that the casements had roofs and more extensive sides) that the crews would get very wet in a storm.
