Fort Horsted 28th September 2024

History:

Completed in 1889 Fort Horsted lies in the Horsted Valley to the south of Chatham and built on the site Anglo-Saxon settlement.

During construction, convicts from Borstal, supervised by the Royal Engineers, were brought in to keep the costs down and with several accidents and fatalities occurring at the time, it’s no wonder why this place is so haunted.

Constructed in the shape of a six sided arrow head, with each flank protected by machine guns in the counterscarp galleries, the Fort would have been home to a garrison of approximately 400 men and women.

However by the early 1990s the Fort was all but deserted, derelict and in much need of attention. The fort was put up for auction and purchased by Avondale who started to run the fort as a business office while retaining its original historical features.

The Fort has had a local reputation for being very haunted
