Sea Devils Fort For Sale
Tuesday, 10 July 2007 - Reported by DWNP Archive
The fort that was used in the filming of The Sea Devils is up for sale.
A report in today's edition of Portsmouth daily paper The News says No Man's Land Fort - built in the 1860s as a sea defence against a feared invasion by the French that never happened - is on the market after the collapse of a commercial property finance business and the jailing of its boss.
The exterior of the construction - which is in the Solent, off the south coast of England - doubled as an abandoned sea fort when theDoctor Who crew went to Portsmouth in October 1971 for extensive location filming on the Jon Pertwee six-parter.
Now converted into a hotel plus events and hospitality venue, it is reported to be worth millions, and administrator KPMG says it is open to offers.
