After one of our readers kindly pointed out errors on the Lunette Battery page we pulled it down for a thorough review. After further research we are pleased to be able to reinstate the updated article today. The Lunette Battery at Newhaven, East Sussex was once a major defensive structure and featured three very large Rifled Muzzle Loading cannons; each with a range of about 5000yds. Sadly there are few remaining examples left of these guns and it is perhaps a shame that one does not reside at the battery for visitors to see.
Coming soon will be further work on the Cross Channel Guns in particular the British guns around Dover. The conclusion of our Dieppe Raid research pending a visit to the French Port this summer and finally we would like to close our pages on Newhaven with the updated story of HMS Forward underground Naval HQ. As always, lots to do!!
