Me and my little gang would come across the fields where the football stadium now is and enter through the wooded area. We found army helmets and all sorts of other stuff and there were military office signs still there. We would run around creating mock battles and take Tizer and crisps for lunch. The echo's around the parade ground were amazing.<br />Looking back, it was pretty dangerous, rotting floorboards, rusty railings, broken glass etc. but we loved it and all survived! I wonder if anyone else remembers this period?<br />Pete.<br />johnson514@btinternet.com<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-73159360579243062572020-02-02T19:33:43.479+00:002020-02-02T19:33:43.479+00:00Just restored two of these units.

Was a enjoyable project saddened to see how much these have been neglected by the council over the years. The original brickwork in most of the vaulted rooms has been rendered in a concrete which for a fort covered in mud is a complete no no as the original bricks were porous and the line pointing self healing but now they can’t breath and dry out as concrete can’t breath and they have major damp and mould problems shame because the brickwork in the vaulted ceilings is beautiful and a work of art unsurpassed today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624099753440016137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-71136441621191314732018-06-30T22:14:48.928+01:002018-06-30T22:14:48.928+01:00Hi can you still get inside fort farehamHi can you still get inside fort farehamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950382037965385324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-23289013644752923332016-01-04T17:33:13.164+00:002016-01-04T17:33:13.164+00:00Were are the tunnels to get in the fort Were are the tunnels to get in the fort Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07392766347122089500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-18123936181895978352011-03-21T20:17:21.164+00:002011-03-21T20:17:21.164+00:00is this haunted by the drummer boysis this haunted by the drummer boysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-25556271962054242922011-03-14T17:56:40.542+00:002011-03-14T17:56:40.542+00:00Fantastic web site so comprehensive... great to se...Fantastic web site so comprehensive... great to see so much effort and care currently compiling a book so may be in touch <br /><br />If you are interested I have some more images on flickr<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/131design/sets/72157626242186050/<br /><br />keep up the good workUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146326235577852695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-18610081293065351482011-01-11T17:15:32.205+00:002011-01-11T17:15:32.205+00:00Its great to see the casements are still standing ...Its great to see the casements are still standing and being put to good use!Jimhttp://www.dripbusters.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26925549.post-77060883707893122332009-12-18T09:46:17.661+00:002009-12-18T09:46:17.661+00:00u should of have a look inside there is also 3 tun...u should of have a look inside there is also 3 tunnels on top if you follow them you can get insideUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253169929233874218noreply@blogger.com
