Description:

 

The original structure at Grain Tower, built in 1855, was based on the earlier Martello Towers that were first constructed as a defence against Napoleon in the early 19th century.  It stands off shore on Grain Spit in the Medway and the original tower was built of brick covered in granite.  The fire from Grain Tower would support that from Garrison Point and would defend both the entrance to the River Medway and the sea front of Sheerness.
