BATTERY
Photographic essay by Mark Clayton on the High Angle Battery, Portland, Dorset.
High Angle Battery is a former gun battery constructed between 1890-1895 with the purpose to protect Portland Harbour and its Naval defences. It was decommisioned in 1906 and is now a grade II listed monument.
The place holds a sense of historic mystery, an erie, forboding presence. Dark, endless tunnels, oppressive walls and silence...
The buildings have been used over the years by generations of local youth, to explore, to fear and to tell stories of ghostly encounters.
