Grain Fort was built in the 1860s on the eastern end of the Hoo peninsula to control the entrance to the Medway, Kent, England.
All surface structures were demolished in the 1960s, so all that remains are underground passages.
Nearby is the 1855 Grain Tower Battery, an extensively remodelled East Coast type Martello Tower.
Garrison Point Fort lies the other side of the Medway.
Famous quotes containing the words grain and/or fort:
“Whan that the firste cok hath crowe, anoon
Up rist this joly lovere Absolon,
And him arrayeth gay at point devis.
But first he cheweth grain and licoris,
To smellen sweete, er he hadde kembd his heer.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
