Blyth Battery, South Beach, Blyth
The bombardment of Hartlepool in December 1916 by the German High Seas Fleet prompted the development of a wider coastal defence plan, including the construction of a battery at Blyth. Work commenced in August 1916 and the new battery's prime purpose was to prevent enemy landings and engage motor torpedo boats, but by the time of its completion in February 1918 it was also intended to protect the submarine depot ship Titania at Blyth https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1021401. This is one of a number of buildings in the immediate area that once formed part of Blyth Battery.
