A very rare look at a Martello tower that has not been seen like this for a very long time. Tower number 5 is in the grounds of the Folkestone school for girls. For many years this tower has been covered in trees and brambles until recently when the school was given a grant to clear the site. I was told not even the students knew it was there till now. A big thanks to the school for giving me the opportunity to see it.
