Today our Museum Volunteers visited Chapel Bay Fort, Angle. One of our volunteers, John Charnock, is also a volunteer and trustee of Chapel Bay Fort and he kindly gave us a most interesting guided tour. So knowledgeable! Chapel Bay Fort is one of a series of forts built as part of the defence of the Haven, built in 1891 and the first fortification (so John informs us) to be built of mass concrete. George Geear has certainly done an amazing job of restoration and has amassed an impressive collection of armaments. After the tour we were able to wander around the museum - followed by a visit to the cafe. The coffee is recommended!!
