About Bath Side

Bath Side Battery, constructed in 1811 to protect the port of Harwich, Essex, originally featured three 24-pound cannons. Over time, the battery fell into disrepair, and following excavations in 1990, its location was marked out near the now-demolished Anchor pub on Stour Road. As of April 2019, the site remains undeveloped, with future plans yet to be announced, making it a point of interest for potential planning applications in the area.
