Southsea Castle was one in a series of forts constructed for King Henry VIII in what was the most ambitious scheme of coastal defence since Roman times. The castle was built in great haste in 1544, prompted by Henry VIII’s fears of a French attack on Portsmouth. It was said to have been designed by the King himself, incorporating the latest continental ideas on the layout of artillery forts. #castle #tudor #henryviii | City Tours - The London Spy
