USL was thrilled to be awarded the restoration project at Landguard Fort, one of England’s impressive examples of 18th Century defensive architecture.
The Grade 1 Listed bulding is the site of the last opposed seaborne invasion of England in 1667 and the first land battle of the Royal Marines. The current fort was built in the 18th Century, and modified in the 19th Century with substantial additional 19th-20th Century outside batteries. The fort continues to provide an explosive history; attracting tourists, enthusiasts and educational groups.
