St Catherine's Fort
St Catherine's Fort is a unique Napoleonic Fortress built on a tidal island overlooking Castle Beach. It was built in 1869 and the fort never actually took part in any military action and in 1907 the fort was decommissioned and sold off leading to quite a unique path of owners and uses. It was first converted it into a lavish private house but during Second World War it was compulsory purchased for use as an anti-aircraft battery and then finally had new life as a zoo for many years.
