It’s been a fairly busy season so far. The weather hasn’t always been great, with heavy rain and chilly wind on two open days. We have still been open and receiving hardy visitors on every occasion. Had a busy day yesterday as our neighbours at Beacon Hill Fort were holding a Napoleonic event along with nearby Harwich Redoubt. Both days witnessed French and English reenactors attacking and defending the fort along with cannon and musket fire. Great to watch but very loud. We received several positive comments in our visitors book too, which is always welcomed.
Glen + Jack – So important to see history preserved Really interesting well done to you all!
Dez family – Great place with fascinating facts
T Potter – A great improvement on when I first saw this. The amount of info…..along with artifacts [sic] have made it a ‘go to’ for a part of war time history of Harwich
Adrian – History very well preserved! Wonderful atmosphere
A Miller – Great to see it so well kept
G Leonard – Great piece of history Very good
It’s comments like those above that make the effort worth while. We have a few ideas for new exhibits, some of which will be worked on during the winter and installed for next year. We have also received a couple of items from Coalhouse Fort, East Tilbury, following it’s closure in 2020. Our next open day will be Sunday 3rd September between 11am and 3pm. Admission is still free but donations are always welcome 🙂
