Archway at Fort Victoria
This archway is the modern-day way through from the car park to the shore at Sconce Point. The other arches are now filled in with the various attractions at Fort Victoria, including a planetarium and an underwater archaeology museum. The arches were the casemates that housed the sea facing guns in the battery.

Fort Victoria, Sconce Point, Isle of Wight
Fort Victoria, built in the 1850s, was a single tier battery with defensible
barracks at Sconce Point, West of Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.
After it (soon) became redundant as a practical fort, it was used as a
submarine mining centre and as a military training area.
There were large barrack blocks behind the fort, where the modern houses can
be seen, but these were demolished in 1969, leaving just the sea-facing casemates.
The casemates have been adapted into a tourist attraction and include a marine aquarium,
a planetarium, a café, a model railway display and the Underwater Archaeology Centre
