30 August 2024

Historic Coalhouse Fort in East Tilbury is set to re-open its gates to visitors for the first time in 4 years as surveys get underway to identify what works are required to return the fort to its former glory.
A series of open days will also take place at Coalhouse Fort, giving residents with an interest in history an opportunity to have their say on how it should be run in the future.
