HistoryHenley Fort was built as a mobilisation centre[1] during the 1880-90s as part of the London Defence Positions. Its purpose was to protect the capital from the French army.[2] Initially, construction was rapid due to the invasion threat, but slowed as that threat passed.{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} It is the most westerly fort of a 17-mile chain that would have formed a secondary line of defence between the South coast and London.[2] It was never used as a fort in the conventional sense,{{sfn|Chapman-Davies|2013}} having neither the men or the munitions to garrison it, and was instead used to train volunteers and as a monthly meeting place for the volunteers who manned it.{{sfn|Evans|1998|page=20}} Ammunition was also created on site,{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} and the fort was constructed using chalk in order to prevent gunpowder from detonating in the event of the fort being bombed.{{Citation needed|date=April 2016}} During the Second World War, Henley Fort was used for defence purposes by the Home Guard. In the 1950s it was used as a camp for local schools.{{sfn|Kerr|1927|page=223}} Each school could attend for two weeks each year for walks around Surrey. PresentToday the fort is an educational centre run by Surrey Outdoor Learning & Development,[3] and as such hosts groups of all types wanting an outdoor learning experience. {{coord|51.2305|-0.5949|type:landmark_region:GB-SRY|display=title}}References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.guildford.gov.uk/newlocalplan/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=21346&p=0|title=Guildford Borough Historic Environment Information|website=www.guildford.gov.uk}} 2. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk/sites/default/files/SAS405_0.pdf|title=Surrey Archaeological Society - Bulletin 405|website=www.surreyarchaeology.org.uk}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url = http://www.surreyoutdoorlearning.uk/facilities/henley-fort|title = Surrey Outdoor Learning & Development - Henley Fort|website = www.surreyoutdoorlearning.uk|access-date = 2016-03-03}} Bibliography{{refbegin}}
