Photo showing the Towers under construction. Tower 1 looks to be externally complete, but still has scaffolding on its west face.
There are cars parked in what is now called Marconi Way, and in front of the Shorts Building.
To the north of the Rochester site are some post WW2 prefabs, the last remaining of an estate of approximately 350 prefabs.
The line of the old ammunition railway which linked the old Forts can be seen curving away to the east of the site.
