thunderhorse Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 "Spitbank Fort reportedly cost nearly £120,000 to construct between1861 and 1878 and was one of Palmerston's 'Follies', a series of landand sea-based forts designed to repel French warships," said auctioneerRob Marchant.No mention of Napoleonic wars.

woolybanana Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 The link I used still had it there a few minutes ago, but it could well be censored. You dont expect the BBC to admit anything do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 It was there a moment ago but has been removed since. BBC might at least admit its ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
