Eastbourne Redoubt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eastbourne Redoubt was built in Eastbourne in East Sussex, England between 1804 and 1810 to support the associated Martello Towers. Like its twin Dymchurch Redoubt it was designed as a barracks and supply depot for the towers, and armed with 11 guns. It is now home to the largest military museum in the south east.
Built in the early 1800s, the Redoubt has defended the Eastbourne coast for nearly 200 years. Today this magnificent building provides the perfect setting for the rich military collections of The Royal Sussex Regiment, The Queen's Royal Irish Hussars and the Sussex Combined Services.
