Edward's collection includes a few contact sheets of photos taken on Red Sands fort by the renowned offshore radio photographer Martin Stevens. Because the pictures on this page have been blown up from tiny originals, they are a bit grainy and less sharp than the professional prints on the previous page but they give an interesting insight into life on the fort. We are grateful to Martin for permission to reproduce them here. |
