Sandwich Point Battery
The series of four gun emplacements was constructed during World War I one kilometre away from the main fort at York Redoubt to protect the approaches to Halifax Harbour. During the Second World War the two dated 9.2 inch breach loading guns were removed, but the two 6 inch breach loaders were retained throughout the war. The battery is currently derelict and completely contained within Department of National Defence fenced land and is strictly off limits to the public.
