Hayling Island Anti Aircraft Site
The monument, which includes a World War II Heavy Anti-aircraft (HAA) gunsite and its associated domestic camp, is situated at Sinah Common approximately 700m north of Hayling Bay. The gunsite, known as Sinah or P2 (Portsmouth 2), formed part of a chain of batteries positioned to defend the industrial and military targets of Portsmouth.
As the size and shape of Hayling Island closely resemble that of Portsmouth, the island was set up as a decoy to distract enemy aircraft from the city. In April 1941 Hayling Island received over 200 bombs and parachute mines, and the gunsite was hit directly, killing six of its crew members. The gunsite remained out of action until December 1941. It was then equipped with a GL Mk II radar and in April 1942 was amongst the first to be fitted with a paraboloid aerial replacing the Ground Laying mat.
In January 1946 the battery was selected to form part of the reduced, post-War layout known as the Nucleus Force, with its guns held in readiness off-site. The four 4.5 inch gun emplacements are situated at the western end of the site along a semicircular road with direct access from Ferry Road. They surround a control building, which has been mounded over, but which will survive as a buried feature. Sources indicate that the gun emplacements were numbered 1 to 4 from south to north. They were octagonal in shape with six ammunition recesses fitted along the concrete blast wall surrounding the holdfasts. Emplacement number 1 is well preserved, despite its southern tip subsiding into the adjacent pond as a result of quarrying. At its centre securing bolts protrude from the holdfast, while all six ammunition lockers are present, equipped with internal recesses in which wooden shelfs were fitted.
Contemporary stencilling on one of the lockers reads the angle measurement 75 degrees, indicating the position of the gun at this angle. Immediately north of emplacement number 1 is a generator room, which was damaged during the 1941 attack, leaving a large hole in the roof. Original cables remain embedded in its northern wall. Emplacements numbers 2 and 3 have been substantially altered to provide sheltered seating; the back gates have been filled, the adjoining storage bunkers were closed off, and all ammunition lockers removed. Surfaces were plastered or paved over and benches were placed along the blast walls. Emplacement number 2 was heavily damaged in 1941 and a small plaque, installed in 1994, commemorates the men of the 219 battery, 57th Heavy Anti-aircraft Regiment, who were killed in action. Emplacement number 4 was infilled in the late 1960s, but will survive as a buried feature underneath the mound.
The emplacements were served by two ammunition stores; one at the northern end of the site along Ferry Road and the other at its southern extremity near emplacement number 1. These five-bay magazines were protected within blast walls, which proved effective during the 1941 attack. Although the blast wall at the southern end of the site was damaged, the magazine remained unscathed and the glass in its windows survives. About 100m east of the magazine on Ferry Road is a red brick flat-roofed gun store, which has been refurbished with new doors, ramp, guttering and roof, and is now in use as a powerhouse. A track connects the emplacements and the domestic camp at the eastern end of the site.
The general layout of the domestic quarters is apparent from the concrete roads, which come off the main entrance at Ferry road. Along the southernmost track is a concrete standing which probably functioned as a parade ground. In the north eastern corner of the site a concrete air raid shelter is preserved, which has been bricked up. On its roof are two small domes covering air vents. The gunsite was surrounded by a fence, of which some of the original posts survive. The following items are excluded from the scheduling: all later surfaces, fences, gates and structures (including bollards, bins, interpretation boards and Pay and Display machines), and all later materials and equipments stored within the site. However, the ground beneath these features is included.

The Kench - Hayling Island - (from the sky)
The Kench is a small naturally protected inter-tidal inlet close to the entrance to Langstone Harbour. Much of the Kench is now a local nature reserve run by Hampshire Council who purchased it after a series of attempts to develop it as a marina had failed in the planning process. The whole of this inlet can be seen from Ferry Road and there is also a path up the east side taking you to the shore of Langstone Harbour.
Just north of the mouth of the Kench is a large shingle bank running north – the only remnant of an early attempt to construct a railway line doomed to failure by the wind and waves in the harbour.
During the national housing shortage of the 1950s several surplus military boats were purchased and converted into living accommodation in the form of house boats located in this naturally protected harbour. In fact a handful of house boats still sit on their cradles here today.

Hayling Island's Abandoned Phoenix Caisson (part of Mulberry Harbour)
The massive Mulberry Harbour project saw the concrete structures being built along the South Coast of the UK. Hayling Island played its part by building a number of Caissons on the West of the Island next to the Ferry Boat Inn.
One of the Caissons failed and was towed to its resting place in 1944 where it has remained every since.
This area of Hayling Island is rich with WWII history, one of the many pill-boxes is shown late in the video. The area further inland is a nature reserve and a no-fly zone.
Eastney Battery East By Drone 4K
The east and west forts at Eastney barracks were built between 1861-1863. They were intended to flank the barracks on the sea-front and comprise two openwork batteries with twelve gun positions each, never fully armed. The outer walls are constructed of brick with galleted panels of flint. Stone is used in structural openings such as the embrasures. A brick lined and vaulted magazine was built below ground in each fort and their position may well indicate the position of cavalier bastions. Both forts have been heavily altered, particularly the East Fort, which now contains several brick buildings from the 1930s and 1940s when the fort was used by HM Signal School for development of radar and, during the war, by the Admiralty Signals Establishment for naval radar.
Old Powder Pier, Shell Pier, Camber Basin, Portsmouth Harbour By Drone 4K
In the 1860s, Priddy's Hard ordnance depot had an 18 in (457 mm) gauge manually-propelled tramway installed for moving powder and ammunition from 'C' Magazine through the Laboratory complex. Known as the 'powder line', it grew into a single line system with spurs into all magazines, explosives stores, cartridge filling rooms, and landing sheds. It extended out on the Old Powder Pier in a double line. The rails were made of delta metal, an alloy of copper and zinc, (brass) plus a little iron, as a precaution against sparks; they were grooved rails (set flush with ground level). In 1904 it had 78 trucks. In time it was largely superseded by the 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge line; but part continued in use inside some workshops and stores to about 1960.
The 2 ft 6in line, known as the 'shell tramway', was a double line system with steel rails; the line initially linked the shell-filling rooms and associated buildings to the shell stores and it ran along the length of the shell pier. In 1904 it had 30 trucks plus a travelling crane (all with brass wheels to reduce sparks). These were also manually driven until 1929, when for the first time mechanical propulsion was provided within the yard by a battery-driven locomotive (the first of an eventual total of eight to be provided by Greenwood & Batley Ltd). The tramway ceased operation in 1960 following the acquisition of a number of electric road tractors and trailers; much of the rail network was then lifted an the routes concreted over to form roadways.
