Previously hidden areas of a historic fort in East Sussex are now open to the public after a £7.5m restoration project.
A massive piece of history has undertaken a multi-million pound restoration project and is now re-open to the public. Numerous areas of Newhaven Fort, including the tunnels leading to gunning positions and the battery observation post, have been made safe for the public to explore.
The 19th Century fort was closed for over a year whilst the work was carried out, but has recently opened.
A spokesperson said, "We have brand new exhibitions in pretty much every casemate and we've even been able to open parts of the fort which have never been open to the public before. The restoration was pretty vital. There were areas that were no longer accessible due to safety concerns, there was a risk of losing some of our heritage buildings."
They added: "It is the most important military structure on the Sussex coast."
