    Hi, Stephen and Yhana. Thank you for sharing.
    This beautiful image and the rich history in the background...6:02..surreal..
    The drone footage really portrays the scale of Coalhouse Fort...9:54
    So are there many arm forces left on the property?...10:20
    Do you believe this fort is haunted? May I ask the reason why Coalhouse is not open to the public? Any danger inside the building? This place is massive! In spite of the fort, those pill boxes are tiny.. How intimidating to stay inside the small spaces!
    The watch tower stands still proudly...what has it witnessed in the past?...
    Very fascinating site and history. Well done. 🥰🍁Sorry for the delay in commenting. Kayak7seas and I just back from filming from the Atlantic sea...shhhh🤐...🥰🍁

    • @StephenandYhana
      @StephenandYhana  2 года назад +2

      Hey buddy, The watch tower was used to guard the river Thames from submarines and German boats during WW2. I believe in ghosts, there is more to this world that we don’t realise.
      I think it’s closed as there are areas that are unsafe, plus they are slowly restoring the fort. I think it will cost a lot of money to complete and it’s very much of the beaten track, so it will struggle to earn a profit from tourism.
      There are no armed forces left on the property.
      So you have been out filming on the Atlantic 😊 very cool 😊☺️ can’t wait to see the video buddy
