Assembled after the main London Blitz, the Maunsell Forts were created to protect London and other Thames settlements/towns from the German bombers during The Second World War.

Decommissioned by the Ministry of Defence in the late 1950's, the forts have been left to rot, aside from the odd pirate radio station residence back in the 60's.

Project Redsand have the unenviable task or trying to get these wrecks back to some sort of habitable state, working from the only accessible/semi-habitable tower in the group. With little funding, slow progress, and the constant battering by the weather, it's a big task.

Because barely anybody has been in the Red Sands Fort since the war, I felt very lucky to be able to visit. Despite the long day, incredibly early start, rain, seagull shit, rust, mould, camera issues, sunburn etc, it was a special way to spend a Saturday.
