hi all, before you say it yes i used flash as i was still dead after climbing back up from lydden deep shelter, here is the history bit, Lydden Spout Battery was part of the western fortress, with its fortress plotting room to the south of Hougham Battery. The plotting room at Lydden Spout is somewhat smaller as it doesn't have the dual role to play although it did also act as the battery command post. After the guns were removed in the 1950's the site was used as a rifle range, and the butts are still visible today. The gun emplacements and magazines are on the coast path with free public access and the three magazines can be entered with care although the entrances are partially backfilled.
thanks for looking sorry again about the flash
