Paull Cliffe Battery was built in 1541 on the orders of Henry VIII to protect the entrance to the Humber and Hull. In 1642 the battery was partially destroyed by parliamentarian ships sailing up the Humber to relieve the siege of Hull, at the same time Paull Church was damaged with shots aimed for the Fort. In 1808 the battery was re-built during the Napoleonic war and dismantled circa 1815.
Paull Point Battery was built between 1861-1864 as part of the Palmerston defences of the major ports. It was occupied by the Royal Artillery and was armed with 19 guns for the protection of the river.
In the second world war the battery served predominantly as an ammunition storage facility, utilising the original magazines to supply ammunition to the merchant ships and the barracks were converted into magazines for anti-aircraft ammunition.
With its vast and long-standing history, many people who have investigated here report seeing shadows creeping up the spooky corridors and hear disembodied voices of the spirits that remain. Join our team for what will be an intruiging investigation!
