Eastbourne Redoubt, Eastbourne - Eastbourne

A redoubt built as part of the Martello system, 1806. The main parts were in use as a museum. The aquarium building, which occupies casemates and the mast on the south west side, is in very poor condition. The site is now empty and unused. The surviving caponiers suffer from water ingress. Moat walls are decaying. A Conservation Plan has been produced and proposals are being developed. The building is central to the new seafront strategy.
