Fort Paull is a gun battery situated on 10 acres of the north bank of the Humber,near the village of Paull, downstream from Hull in northern England. Henry VIII established the first fortress of 12 guns at Paull Cliffs (known as Paull Cliff Battery) as part of his defence policy in 1542 with further changes to the Fort occurring during the Civil and Napoleonic Wars and finally in 1894 to incorporate the latest technology of the time.

 YOUR LOCATION: FORT PAULL

 

In 1964, a group of volunteers, the Friends of Fort Paull took over the site and began to restore the fort as a heritage museum. Fort Paull finally opened to the public in 2000 housing many exhibits and 500 years of history within its walls.

The facility contains:

* A Museum
* Waxworks (Showing figures which have influenced the fort's long history.)
* Armouries (Showing various artillery pieces.)
* Military Vehicles (Including ambulances, tanks, trucks and motorcycles and aircraft.)
* A Blackburn Beverley Aircraft (The final surviving example of this British aircraft.)
* Underground Rooms
* Tunnels
* Trenches
* Visitor Centre
* Bar and Restaurant
* The restaurant car from the Berliner train (This car was used to ferry people from West Germany to West Berlin during the Cold War. 'The King' Elvis Presley travelled on the train during his time in the military.)

Large parts of this location are underground and are not wheelchair accessible. This location may also be unsuitable for those guests who struggle with stairs or walking for long distances.

 

HISTORY OF HAUNTINGS

 

As you would expect from a military base, FORT PAULL has its fair share of resident spirits:

 

The ‘Rabbit Nanny’ - Miss Jenkins, known in the locality as “Rabbit Nanny,” hawked rabbits in the streets of Hull and it was said that her voice could be heard across the river at Barton. She sold her body prior to her death for the sum of £5, for dissection and medical research in Hull, and her skeleton was subsequently bought from a Dr. Hay and put on display; this skeleton is also now one of the exhibits at Fort Paull. “Rabbit Nanny” is said to haunt the underground sections of the Fort.

* The Ghostly Soldier – When the disappearing gun was replaced by a searchlight station in 1907 Fort Paull became one of the earliest Fort’s to provide its own electricity. The equipment needed to run the station was charged regularly and some of the soldiers at the Fort began stealing this equipment and selling it to local traders.

 

* One night a group of soldiers were caught trying to steal equipment by their Sergeant Major and were duly court-martialed and sent to their prison cells. The following day one of the prisoners was found hanging from the ceiling of his cell. The subsequent investigation suggested that the poor fellow was so frightened of the ghosts of Fort Paull that he could take no more than one evening in their company in his cell. The soldier himself and the spirits he witnessed are said to haunt the cells and the corridor in-between them at the Fort.

* Derek – Staff have described chairs and other objects being moved around in the bar and restaurant area at the Fort have attributed this to a spirit they have named Derek.

 

You may even encounter one of the many prominent historical figures that have links to the location:

King Henry VIII – Built the first Fort in 1542.
* King Charles I – Visited the Fort in July 1642 to inspect the troops and artillery.
* Winston Churchill - Covertly visited the Fort during an inspection of south and east coastal defences
* Elvis Presley - Travelled on the Berliner train during his time in the military. Using the restaurant carriage which is now located at the Fort.

·
