Coalhouse Fort, rather the area that it was built on, has had over 600 years of military history associated there. The current fort was completed in 1874 defending the River Thames and ultimately London. It is one of the Palmerston forts, built from a recommendation of the Royal Commission in 1860 for protection, mainly the French! Continuing it's defensive role through the two World Wars it was eventually sold by the MOD to Thurrock Council in 1962.

The council have leased out the fort since 1983 to the Coalhouse Fort Project, a charity will the ultimate aim of restoring it to it's former glory as a military garrison.

The fort is still in need of major repairs, however it is plain to see from our preliminary investigation with the volunteers of the fort, that they have a passion for this fascinating building of military history. Many of the volunteers that work at the fort have been witness to various paranormal and unexplained occurrences.

Various sightings and reports of activity at the fort include:

o A replay of soldiers playing a wartime poker game
o Loud footsteps and heavy dragging noises
o Strange smells and voices
o A variety of apparitions throughout the fort
o Cold spots, batteries draining and much more!
