Brackenbury Battery
From Warlike

Brackenbury Battery was a small coastal artillery fort located just north of Felixstowe, England, and initially known as Felixstowe Battery. It opened in October 1915 to provide fire northward from the Haven ports, replacing a battery of 10-inch guns that had previously covered this area. With their removal, only a single 10-inch gun in Landguard Fort could fire in that direction, and Brackenbury was built to address this problem.
