I've learnt a lot about these types of forts since watching your videos. It all makes sense now, the little alcoves for the lamps and the narrow passage ways to access them being separate from the room being lit. I had previously been puzzled when seeing these features at forts on the Isle of Sheppey and Minorca. Your explanations have solved the mystery. There's Fort Manoel in Malta. I used to explore this as a kid. It's riddled with tunnels underneath. Some of it from WW2 with huge oil storage tanks. I went back to Malta about 5 years ago and wasn't allowed onto the fort. It was sealed off... I think for restoration. Would be a great explore if accessible! I enjoy all your videos. Excellent!
Very interesting series. Many thanks
Glad you like them! Thank you.

Thank you! I’m learning and sharing as I go, and the more sites I visit the more details I learn about. I’ll try to keep it up!
@@frontlineulster Much appreciated. Thank you.
Thanks. If you haven't visited the Needles battery (old battery?) on the Isle of Wight, it is worse a visit.
