Strange Fortresses

Today's travellage took us to a place called Fort Paull.

A most peculiar place, you can read all about it here. It is a Napoleonic Fort, but that is completely overlooked as it is quite definitely a museum of World War II. Verrrrry interesting, and we were there for a few hours, the kids loved the fabulous adventure playground. They have a WW2 plane that you can climb right into, which is amazing, and more than a little discomfiting. Lots and lots of displays, with model people that were like slightly battered mannequins. Freaky faces, some missing facial features. Quasimodo was in one display, and another which I did not see but which I saw a photo of, of a juggling midget emerging from a birthday cake.

Truly fascinating, but a little sad as it was in a state of almost disrepair, desperately needing an influx of cash to restore the glory. Go, visit, help it rejuvenate.
