Coalhouse Fort is an artillery fort in the eastern English county of Essex. It was built in the 1860s to guard the lower Thames from seaborne attack. It stands at Coalhouse Point on the north bank of the river, at a location near East Tilbury which was vulnerable to raiders and invaders. It was the last in a series of fortifications dating back to the 15th century and was the direct successor to a smaller mid-19th century fort built on the same site. Constructed during a period of tension with France, its location on marshy ground caused problems from the start and led to a lengthy construction process. The fort was equipped with a variety of large-calibre artillery guns and the most modern defensive facilities of the time, including shell-proof casemates protected by granite facing and ca

  • Coalhouse Fort är en befästning med kasematter i East Tilbury, nära staden Tilbury i distriktet Thurrock i Essex i Storbritannien, 3,7 kilometer nedströms Tilbury Fort. Coalhouse Point var i äldre tid placering för ett artilleribatteri. Det byggdes om på 1860-talet som en kustbefästning och färdigställdes 1874. Det ligger på lågt belägen mark vid en kurva av floden Themsen vid East Tilbury och hade placerats där för att vara en del av en "triangel av eld" från Coalhouse Fort på Essex-sidan av floden och och på Kent-sidan. Det användes som ett försvar för London under de två världskrigen och inköptes 1962 av distriktet Thurrock Council efter det att det hade avvecklats. (sv)
