EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Patricia Payne showcases the magnificent Coalhouse Fort, standing proudly on the east side of its water-filled ditch in East Tilbury, Thurrock, Essex. As we gaze upon this Victorian coastal fort from the far bank, our eyes are drawn to its imposing structure and rich historical significance. The fort's sturdy walls and strategic location served as a protective barrier against potential invaders during times of conflict. In this particular shot taken in July 2016, Payne expertly captures the fort's north-western view with remarkable precision. The tranquil waters surrounding it create a stunning reflection that enhances the overall beauty of the landscape. This image transports us back in time to an era when coastal batteries played a crucial role in safeguarding our shores. The composition is masterfully framed, allowing us to appreciate every architectural detail of Coalhouse Fort. Its robust construction stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess while blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Patricia Payne's skillful photography not only immortalizes this historic landmark but also evokes a sense of awe and wonder within us. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich heritage and encourages us to cherish and protect these important cultural treasures for generations to come.
