'Bart' Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 As seen in Doctor Who ("The Sea Devils"). Also used for 'Banged Up With Beadle', whatever the hell that was. I'd prefer the sea devils! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashConnoisseur Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Reassuringly riot proof. Lots more information and photos here... Horse Sands Fort: http://www.horsesandsfort.co.uk/ Luxury Apartments Ready 2006/7****NEWS FLASH OCTOBER 2005**** Work is progressing quite quickly, and we have now nearly completed interior sandblasting and priming of metalwork. Introduction: Horse Sand fort is an exciting new development of luxury apartments within a Palmerston Fort on the River Solent. It will be a rare chance to reside offshore on one of Britains few man made islands. The apartments will be spacious and bold, offering residents the ultimate in seclusion. A circular road forms the heart of Horse Sands, affectionately known as "The Street" where residents will be able to wander to meet other residents, or simply take in the sea air. Horse Sands Fort has lain derelict for over 50 years, and the new owners Optima Ltd have begun a two year restoation project to bring the Fort back to its former glory. Sustainability of the Fort has been guaranteed by choosing to develop the site into residential apartments, rather than a commercial venture such as a hotel or casino. Optima (Cambridge) Ltd, 62 Park Road, Peterborough, PE1 2YA. www.optimacambridge.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piece of paper Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Any idea what the local authority's policy is on wheelie-bins being placed a metre or more from where they should be? p-o-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten all about that. Fort Boyard I think it was shot on a different fort though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porca misèria Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 'the ultimate in seclusion'?????????? Stuck on tiny, locked in island with no free space and twenty other residents. It'll end in moidah. Some people pay good money to go on a cruise. Smaller space, more people crammed in Some nice converted forts from Napoleonic times down here in the southwest. Picklecombe is almost a boat-required address: to get anywhere overland is a long, long way. Almost tempting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorms and bunk beds being the order of the day. Good fun, although 32 years later, I'd want a bit more privacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll end in moidah. Big Brother? Anyway, got to love the optimism. The centre 'road'???? Chance to meet the other inmates, ahem I mean residents. It does look like as prison though. One posh persons villa, maybe. Flats? Seriously. A mental asylum of flat perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
