Item details

These sea forts are to be found proudly standing at the mouth of the Thames Estuary. They were built during the 2nd world war to protect London from air attacks via the Thames.

This is a piece of idiosyncratic art handmade in beautiful 100% silk with a curled feather inner cushion (from Streets of London) and a Black linen backing which is piped and zipped to the highest quality. The Silk is sourced and printed at one of the best Silk printers in the UK and then hand-made by Enlightened Cushions.

Dimensions: 36 cm x 36 cm

Washing instructions on label.

Please note: Pure silk can contain "slubs" running through the material. This enhances the texture of the silk and is totally organic and gives the cushion more of a one-off feel.

Shipped to the UK by First Class "Signed for" service (2-3 working days) and the rest of the world by "International signed for" (approx 5 working days with insurance up to £50). Postage is approximate and we will refund any difference if found cheaper.

These sea forts are to be found sitting at the mouth of the Thames Estuary. They were built during the 2nd world war to protect London from air attacks via the Thames.

In the1960’s the forts were used by pirate radio broadcasters including Radio City managed by one Reg Calvert who was shot in a scuffle about the forts ownership and the first death associated with the radio pirates. This spurred the Government into legislative action shutting down offshore pirate radio stations, passing the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act.

These magnificent towers today sit comfortably with a forest of wind turbines along the Kent coast near Whitstable.
