| South Foreland Lighthouse, the first in the world to be electrically powered in 1859. It was also the site of the first ship to shore radio transmission and the first international radio transmission (from Wimereux in France)when Guglielmo Marconi conducted experiments here in 1899. This lighthouse is now owned by the National Trust and is opened to the public. |

Cordite charges and shells (weight 380lbs /172.4kg)were stored in an underground magazine immediately behind the gun emplacement, the entrance is visible behind the gun. Work began in December 1940, guns were installed between March and November 1941. The battery's primary objective was to attack enemy shipping.

| Two surface built, reinforced concrete, stores. One was the shell store, the other the cordite magazine for number 2 & 3 guns, however, I haven't been able to find which was which. |
