The British garrison at Fort Shirley was abandoned 150 years ago. Some central buildings have been renovated and some are still untouched in those 150 years.

Fort Shirley is where battles between English and French occurred and has been lovingly restored by local historian Lennox Honychurch. The restoration was funded by the EU and the Canadian Government. The Fort can be found in Cabritts National Park just north of Portsmouth.
