Looking along the pathway towards the former military structure perched on the shingle. The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway runs across the path in the foreground. The houses are within the fort compound and look 19th century in structure which probably suggests the date for the fort. At that time the sea would have been nearer and little to no other buildings would have existed on the peninsula which is probably why the houses were built within.
