Fort Picton Laventille

-

The Martello Tower was forty feet high, commanding not only the route along the Laventille Hills, but also the vital road, the town of Port of Spain, the flanks and rear of Fort San Andres and it could also command the inner harbour in support of the Mole Fort.  On the upper level of what was effectively the roof, Picton mounted an 18 pounder and a 6 pounder cannon en barbette.  The floor below the guns was the living quarters for the garrison as in conventional Martello Towers, while the lower ground floor was the storerooms, magazine and water supply.
