Browndown Battery : ウィキペディア英語版 | Browndown Battery
Browndown Battery, also referred to erroneously in some sources as Browndown Fort, is a former military coastal defence fortification and base on the Southern shoreline of England in the county of Hampshire. First erected in the mid-1840s, the battery was continuously modified until disarmed in 1905/6. It has been a Grade II Listed Building since 1983. ==The first Browndown Batteries== The first batteries at Browndown were erected on the shore at Browndown Point to the west end of Stokes Bay at Gosport to defend the western approach to Portsmouth harbour and to prevent an enemy landing on the beach. These batteries were known as Browndown Battery East and Browndown Battery West. They were complete by 1852 but were heavily criticised by James Fergusson (who was later to become the Treasury Representative on the 1860 Royal Commission into the defences of the United Kingdom) in his papers The Peril of Portsmouth and Portsmouth Protected.〔The Peril of Portsmouth published 1852 and Portsmouth Protected published 1853 by James Fergusson〕 According to an armament list of 1860 Browndown Battery East had positions for three 68pr of 112 cwt. and seven 8-inch smooth bore guns of 65 cwt. whilst Browndown Battery West had positions for three 68pr. and eight 8-inch smooth bore guns.〔National Archive: Armament Return dated 1860 held in WO33〕 Ordnance Survey maps indicate the eastern battery had fallen in disuse by 1870〔O.S. Map dated 1870〕 whilst the western one was retained until it was replaced by a new battery as part of the western defences of Portsmouth Harbour.
