King’s Bastion in Chatham is part of the Chatham Lines (also called the Great Lines), a set of 18th-century land fortifications built to defend the Royal Dockyard at Chatham from attack by land.It was constructed between 1755 and 1758 during the Seven Years’ War, one of several angular bastions—such as Prince Edward’s and Prince Frederick’s—designed so that each could provide overlapping fields of fire along the defensive ditch #HistoryUncovered #ForgottenHistory #urbex #fort #ww2 #history @high
