Interested in local history? Well, you'll be pleased to know we're putting up interpretation boards around Long Curtain Moat about the rich history of this area. The first one is installed, with three more to follow. One board explains the history of Clarence Pier; one board focusses on Spur Redoubt, Kings Bastion and Long Curtain Bridge (pictured); and another will be on Long Curtain Moat. There will also be a board on the archaeological finds in this area.
