From the castles and strong houses of the medieval and Tudor monarchs and statesmen, to the pseudo-fortresses of teh Victorian militia and rifle volunteers; the airfields of the anti-Zeppelin fighters of the Royal Flying Corps, and the Battle of Britain based of the RAF, to the pillbox defences against invasion of 1940, and the anti-nuclear defences of the Cold War, and beyond.
