Part of one of the south's best-known landmarks was reduced to rubble recently after a sea-facing wall collapsed.
As reported in the Daily Echo, no one was hurt as a section of the 16th-century Hurst Castle crumbled to pieces.
The Tudor castle on Hurst Spit, Lymington has a rich history and was in military use until as late as 1956.
Hurst Castle was built by Henry VIII between 1541 and 1544 and helped to defend against a potential invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire.
Relations between the three countries were in tatters after Henry had his marriage to Catherine of Aragon annulled in 1533. Catherine's nephew Charles V, the Roman Emperor, took the annulment as a personal insult and formed an allegiance with France against Henry.
