Fort Luton

Fort Luton

Fort Luton was built between 1876 and 1892 south of Chatham, Kent, England. It has a polygonal trace. It was never armed, but took part in the war games held by the Army in the 1900s, including a trial siege in 1907. The site was last used in the 1990s as a model museum, but that has since closed.
