Humber Fort and kite surfers

A very breezy day brought out the kite surfers. There were plenty of them enjoying the spills and wind around one of the Humber forts. There are 2 forts in The Humber planned in 1914 to protect the entrance to the estuary. There was accommodation for 200 soldiers. They took more than 4 years to build and were finished in 1919. during the Second World war they were reactivated and modernised and they were regularly attacked by enemy aircraft. During this time they installed a netting to prevent enemy submarines from travelling up the estuary to Hull or Grimsby. One of them is currently for sale for about £300,000!!!
Loved watching the kite surfers.
