A TWO-day re-enactment is being held to mark the 200th anniversary of an historic Harwich building.

In celebration of the anniversary of the Redoubt Fort, 40 soldiers will be battling it out in a Napoleonic re-enactment on July 5 and 6.

Built in 1808 to protect the port against an invasion from the sea by Napoleon, the fort is a listed monument, which has been restored by the Harwich Society.
