Concealed behind the cliff face of the #EastSussex coast is the fascinating #NewhavenFort. Completed in 1869, the #AncientMonument was designed by 24 year old #RoyalEngineer #LtJohnCharlesArdagh as part of an ambitious coastal defence project. Commissioned by Prime Minister #LordPalmerston to protect Britain’s #coastline from a growing naval threat from #NapoleonIII.
