Visit Fort Albert, Alderney, Channel Islands
Originally Fort Touraille and planned as a battery, it was renamed after the death of Prince Albert in 1861, the fort was built on Braye bay eastern headland between 1856 and 1859 comprising 43 guns with barracks for 424. Roselle battery also on the headland with seven guns was completed in 1854. Around 1900 the fort was modified, reducing the number of guns and fitting two 6 inch BL guns, which changed the appearance of the fort. The fort was the island military headquarters housing a regular army garrison until 1929.
