Just been reading the site.
I guess the Heugh battery got used more than most defensive installations - for about 40 minutes in 80-odd years if my observations are correct.
But I guess it was worth it if it saved the town from a much heavier and more lethal bombardment.

at the time we had a massive navy and as usual never expected the un expected the germans dont play cricket :laugh:

i remember the guns being used for target practice in the fifties but then there was two guns on the other side of the light house [after the event]
as when the bombardment was on one ship came in close to middleton out of range of the guns in the battrey hiding behind the light house causing most of the damage unchallenged

They could have mentioned a helluva' lot more!!!! :-X :-X

I tried to vote but couldn't....our phone is barred from them such phone numbers....ever since our lass caught me phoning Jack Russell v Patterdale Terrier 1 on 1!!!! :uhoh:
