History of Nothe Fort
Nothe Fort was commissioned in 1860 and operational in 1872. The fort was built as a sea defence on the Dorset coast against the ever growing threat of French invasion. Initially left unarmed there was no likelihood of it originally being invaded however, this changed when it was armed with 12 muzzle loading defence guns.
During World War 1 Nothe Fort guns were taken out of service due to minimal risk of a sea attack. During World War 11 however, an anti-aircraft gun is added to the tower and Nothe Fort becomes an important and key part of Britain's defence when a German air invasion was expected in 1940.
By the 1970’s the military no longer had any use for the fort and ownership was then transferred over to Weymouth and Portland Borough Council where it fell quickly into a state of decay. Since 1980 it has been guided by the Weymouth & Portland Civic Society is now an important part of Britain's history. The restored Fort is a now one of the best preserved Palmerston forts in the country and an extremely popular attraction where up to sixty thousand people a year travel to see the impressive and important architecture and masonry. With over 70 rooms displaying the immense history of the site, there are also wonderful views of the Dorset coast.
