Tilbury Fort sits right on the Thames Estuary 🏞️⛴️, and its history runs deep — the fortress defended London from seaborne invaders from the 16th century all the way through to World War II.☄️
The first fort here was built by Henry VIII, and later Queen Elizabeth I rallied her army nearby to face down a looming threat.🏇 Standing on the walls and looking out over the river, it's easy to picture everyone here once keeping a watchful eye on the horizon.
