Godwin Coastal Artillery Battery

Kilnsea, Yorkshire view map

Dawn at the Godwin Coastal Artillery Battery at Kilnsea, Yorkshire.

The Godwin Coast Artillery Battery was part of the outer defences of the Humber on the stretch of low cliffs near Kilnsea and was the terminal of the Spurn Point railway that supplied the Spurn Point garrison. The site consisted of two 9.2" breech loading (BL) guns mounted in circular concrete pits, underground magazines, crew shelters and workshops

Intriguing shot, my first impulse, when I saw the thumbnail, was how it reminded me of a war movie. VImagine my surprise at how close that I was.
