Fort Amherst is now open as a visitor attraction throughout the year, running tours through the tunnel complex. The primary purpose of all the Medway fortifications was the defence of the Naval Dockyard. Land was acquired by two Acts of Parliament in 1708 and 1709.
Fort Pitt, Kent
Fort Pitt was a fort built between 1805 and 1819 on the high ground of the boundary between Chatham and Rochester, Kent. It did not last long because it became a hospital for invalid soldiers in 1828, with an asylum added in 1849. Prompted by Florence Nightingale, the first Army Medical School was founded there in 1860, then to move to Netley in Hampshire in 1863. By the 1920s the hospital was closed and the site converted into a girls school, now known as Fort Pitt Grammar School.
