Crosby Battery

Crosby Battery, also known as Crosby Point Battery, was an artillery battery situated between Crosby and Hightown in Lancashire, United Kingdom. The battery was used for port defence and anti-aircraft defence during WWII.〔(Liverpool and Merseyside Remembered ) Accessed 2014-02-07〕 Crosby Battery worked in conjunction with the nearby Seaforth Battery.
==History==
Crosby Battery was built on the sand dunes north of Crosby around March 1906 to October 1907. The structure came with three gun emplacements, which were apart, with ammunition kept underneath the positions. The original compliment of guns were two breech-loading Mark VII guns,〔(Geocaching, Fort Crosby ) Accessed 2014-02-07〕〔(Pastscape, Crosby Point Battery ) Accessed 2014-02-07〕 which were the same as those installed at nearby Fort Perch Rock, on the opposite side of the mouth of the River Mersey. Behind the positions were two barracks and soldiers' quarters. Around the battery was an observation post, a signal station, an officers' hut, caretaker's accommodation, a bath house, a workshop. An engine room, with coastal spotlights, was built later. The battery was given the designation S0011771.〔(Place and See, Hightown ) Accessed 2014-02-07〕
After World War II, the Territorial Army used the area, until 1954. The base was subsequently closed in 1957.〔(An Archaeological Assessment of the Hightown Dunes, Dune Restoration Works Proposals ) Accessed 2014-02-07〕 The battery was the headquarters for the Lancashire and Cheshire Heavy Brigade of the Artillery.〔
After permission was given for a housing development at Hightown, the Ministry of Defence sold the battery, in 1963, including of foreshore.〔(Sefton Coast Partnership, Coastal Heritage ) Accessed 2014-02-07〕 Many of the buildings were demolished, following this, in 1967.〔 However, the site of the battery still exists, as the site was not fully built on. Though, it was stated as being in poor condition, in 2000.〔
