Sea Devils Fort For Sale

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 the 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 the Doctor 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.
