The Portsdown Hill Forts - Palmerston's Follies?
Gosport Community Hub, Brune Park School, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 3BX
Local Victorian fort enthusiast, Ian, will speak to you about the history of the Portsdown Hill Forts during his informative, illustrated talk.
You'll discover why the forts were built, the importance of their design, and details of their construction. You'll also learn how the forts were used, what became of them over the years, and their place in the local defences. Why were they called 'Palmerston's Follies', and did they deserve that nickname?
