Hi Justin, no it was Victorianforts.co.uk
It had some interesting information and pictures on it.
Many thanks Tony.

Thanks.

Interestingly, I can't seem to access it either and it says: "Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access victorianforts.co.uk"

Since I've never been to that site before now, I'm assuming this is just lazy IP blocking, meaning they've blocked entire IP ranges, hosting providers, or country blocks instead of blocking individual malicious IP addresses. And I checked it by asking two other people to access it, and, wouldn't you know it, the guy from Vienna was fine, the guy also in Romania was IP blocked same as I. So at this point I'm assuming the webmasters blocked everything east of Vienna...

So make sure it's not that, that you're not IP blocked.

Hi Tony.

Yes it was a great site. I have a lot of his fortlogs and other publications, he seemed like a decent guy to deal with but unfortunately he passed away in 2022, and the website no longer works. I just checked online to make sure it was correct :-
David Moore (1952–2022) was a prominent local historian, schoolteacher, writer, and a founding member (Membership No. 005) of the Palmerston Forts Society (PFS) in 1984. He is best known for his extensive research, documentation, and preservation work regarding 19th-century Victorian military fortifications, particularly the Gosport and Portsmouth defences.

Hope this helps. Long time no see ! Hope all is well with you.

Cheers, Tony.

Thanks for that Tony, It could do with adding to the Palmerston forts site. If you are still in Wiltshire could pop up one day, as you say it's been a long time.
Take care, Tony.
