This fort was one of thirteen Mobilsation Centres, which were built at the end of the Nineteenth and beginning of the Twentieth Century. They were fortified stores which were designed to aid the defence of London and stretched from Guildford in Surrey to North Weald in Essex. Most of the centres have been either converted or demolished altogether but Henley Grove, on 'The Mount', near Guildford, seems to be one of the best preserved. It is owned by Surrey Council and used as an education centre and as a base for re-enactors. The adjacent Tool Store and Caretaker's Cottage are private residences.
This MC is generally closed to the public but opened as part of Heritage Open Days.

The reason why I love your articles is that you tell about such historical monuments which are not that famous but are there. I often Hire Someone To Take My Class so that I can explore such archeological sites and my next stop is gonna be Henley Grove’s, Fort, thanks to you.
Your posts are fantastic, and you never fail to inspire me with new ideas for science fiction and to assist me in improving my present online web design services work as it progresses. Keep up the excellent work.
