Green's Lodge Battery

Green's Lodge Battery is in Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula.

[1][2] The artillery battery is located more than 1,000 feet up the North Face of the Rock of Gibraltar, at the northern end of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, above Farringdon's Battery and adjacent to Ministry of Defence property.

[3][4] Also referred to as the Superior Battery, the emplacement is positioned at the end of the Green's Lodge Nature Trail, off Signal Station Road.

Later, in the mid twentieth century, during the Second World War, an additional observation post was constructed.

Green was an officer of the British Army who served on the European continent and in Canada until about 1761, when he was named senior engineer of Gibraltar.

Green designed and executed a number of military works on the Rock, and was promoted to chief engineer of Gibraltar in 1770.

[9][10] Green was promoted to colonel in 1777, and ascended in rank to major general before leaving Gibraltar.
