And For Anyone who Would Like to See Haile Fort More Closely Here is one Last Shot and Some More Information

The Humber Forts are two large fortifications in the mouth of the Humber estuary in northern England: Haile Sand Fort  and Bull Sand Fort

The two forts were planned in 1914 to protect the entrance to the estuary. They stand 18 metres (59 ft) above the water and have a diameter of 25 metres (82 ft). There was accommodation for 200 soldiers. Starting in May 1915, they took more than four years to build and construction was not finished until December 1919. During World War II they were reactivated and modernised. The forts were regularly attacked by enemy aircraft. During this time a netting was put up to prevent enemy submarines travelling up the estuary to Hull or Grimsby. The forts were finally deserted by the military in 1956. Recently it Was Sold For the Sum of £1 And it is Understood to Be Used in the Future to Treat Drug Addicts as a Re-ability Centre.
