Fort Tourgis - 21/07/2014

Looked at Fort Torguis, to see what has happened to it over the years. Its eerie there to know that over the years so any people have stayed there, and theres so much history there and yet its completely deserted now. It was incredible to see the graffiti that has been added over the years and how different people respond to it.
I think the main thing that makes the Fort so eerie is how well some things have weathered, compared to other items. In the basement prep room there were writings on the wall in pencil that are still complete and legible, whereas within the prison cells there are pencil marks that are nearly completely faded.
In the prep room there is evidence of how these historical sites are treated, as the rear of the door has had a target etched into it, and a projectile has been fired at the targets, then removed the objects.
On one wall there was a range of graffitis from various years, including 1991, 1977 and 2003.
