Garrison Point Fort
Garrison Point Fort in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent was built on the recommendations of the Royal Commission report in the 1860s opposite Grain Fort to control the entrance to the Medway, Kent. It originally contained 36 Rifled Muzzle Loaders with calibres from 9in to 12in. Three Brennan Torpedo ramps were added in 1885.
Garrison Point Fort is now part of Sheerness docks, with the ferry access cutting across it, and no public access.
