Fort Blockhouse is a military establishment in Gosport, Hampshire, England, and the final version of a complicated site. At its greatest extent in the 19th century, the structure was part of a set of fortifications which encircled much of Gosport. It is surrounded on three sides by water and provides the best view of the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour. It is unique in two respects. Firstly, it was built over five centuries from its original construction as a blockhouse in 1431 to the final addition of submarine base structures in the mid-1960s. Secondly, it is thought to be the oldest fortified position in the United Kingdom that is still in active military use though coastal fortification was abolished nationally in 1956, and it has been used only for medical purposes since 2020.

  • Fort Blockhouse est un établissement militaire situé à Gosport, Hampshire, en Angleterre, et la version finale d’un site compliqué. Dans sa plus grande extension au XIXe siècle, la structure faisait partie d’un ensemble de fortifications qui encerclait une grande partie de Gosport. Il est entouré sur trois côtés par l’eau et offre la meilleure vue de l’entrée du port de Portsmouth. Il est unique à deux égards. Tout d’abord, il a été construit sur une période de cinq siècles à partir de sa construction d’origine comme blockhaus en 1431 jusqu’à l’ajout final d’une tour de sauvetage sous-marine en 1953. Deuxièmement, on pense qu’il s’agit de la position fortifiée la plus ancienne au Royaume-Uni à être encore utilisée activement sur le plan militaire, bien que les fortifications côtières aient (fr)
