The former site of an early-20th century searchlight emplacement associated with the contemporary remains of Hope Battery (uid 416709) and located judt on the inner side of the former sea wall. This was seen on RAF aerial photographs taken in 1953 prior to the realignment and strengthening of the sea defences. The feature has now been destroyed, the position lying on the seaward side of the present day wall. The structure was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the English Heritage: Hoo Peninsula Landscape Project.The small structure is labelled as ‘Electric Light Emplacement No. 2’ on a plan of Hope Battery complex drawn up in 1904, shown with a purpose-built footpath or track connecting it directly to the battery. The searchlight was the southern example of a pair positioned on the sea wall either side of Hope Battery to support an examination line for shipping overlooking the Thames Estuary near Lower Hope Point
