Description

PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

In the far distance is the lighthouse on Sambro Island and on the top of the hill is the remains of some WWII fortifications.

In World War Two, the area around Duncan's Cove, became a fortified coastal battery armed with three Elswick 6 inch naval guns. Also a four-story concrete director tower was built. By 1943 the latest radar artillery control unit was installed. The battery complex was decommissioned in the 1950s but many bunkers remain, some converted into private residences.
