Upper, Lower, Belmont Batteries

Upper, Lower, and Belmont Batteries were constructed at Fort Rodd Hill between 1895 and 1900 as part of the defences of Esquimalt Harbour. Upper and Lower Batteries, with their three large 6 inch guns, were designed to counter bombard enemy warships. Belmont Battery was equipped to engage fast torpedo boats with smaller quick firing guns.
