| 説明 | Strategically positioned on the northern banks at the entrance to the River Tyne, Tynemouth (Castle) Battery was the primary coastal defences protecting the important industrial centre of Newcastle. Almost in constant use since the 18th Century, what remains today is a selection of infrastructure representative of the last 150 years of coastal artillery development. The earliest remains on site are the northernmost of six positions, constructed in 1893 to mount a 6 inch BL Mark. VI gun. This was one of two original BL guns on the site.The next major upgrade to the battery was in 1902 when two 6 inch BL Mk. VII guns were installed, and two 12 pounder positions were also constructed, directly covering the entrance to the river against smaller, faster moving craft. Finally in 1904 a single 9.2 inch BL Mk. X position was constructed, destroying one of the earlier 6 inch positions.The site was decommissioned in 1956 with the disbandment of the Coastal Artillery Regiment.The site was operational during both the First World War and Second World War, with no major rebuilding of the battery structures.While little evidence remains of the associated structures within the castle walls, the magazines and stores for the selection of armaments do remain. The site is under the custodianship of English Heritage who have sympathetically restored aspects of the battery and which can be visited. |
