These photos are of the buildings and the volunteers at the Battery
This is the magazine of the Battery. It was built in 1916 and was the ammunition store. It could hold up to 1370 6" diameter shells.
This photo shows the rear of the two Battery Observation Posts (BOPs). The grey one was built in 1916, and has a revolving metal turret which may be the last of its kind in the world. The pink BOP was built in WWII for more modern equipment.
The front of the WWI BOP was buried up to the height of the blocked up window in the centre face. The lower room was used by the Battery Commander.
This is the Northern Search Light Building. It was built in the First World War and would have housed a 90cm search light.
The photo above shows the day shelters for troops and Battery Sergent Major.
This photo shows the rear of the Gun Emplacements prior to restoration work.
