More about this scene
Also known as Perch Rock and the Battery, the Fort was, and still is, a very large landmark on the New Brighton shore. Completed in 1825 at a cost of £25,000, it was part of the defences on the River Mersey, and was used to store gunpowder for ships visiting Liverpool. It is a tribute to its designer and builder Captain John Kitson that it is so strong and solid today, 175 years later; it is now used as a museum.
