	Name: Simon Newsham Building: Spitbank Fort Location: Portsmouth, a mile offshore Why do you love this building?: I look at it as I run along Southsea seafront, and it just gives me a sense of awe. It makes you realise just how serious the threat of invasion was in the nineteenth century (and also in the twentieth). Maybe 'Palmerston's Follies' were a real preventative force. It reminds me of an era when England really had power. Read more about Spitbank Fort's history at: http://www.spitbankfort.co.uk/history.htm
