    Even when I'm feeling completely like a novice student-of-arts in general, there seems to be a rift purposely made within my abilities to embrace categorised forms of creativity that look to be differentiated between kinds of synthesised / robotic features... and another type of spark which consists entirely of PAINT. From the first day i ever stepped foot into this museum, all i ever wanted to be was a decent painter. Since all the other biometric & geometric exhibitions seem to remind me of my failings as a TECHIE. So if you want me to stop dropping in. Give me some hands on, council sponsored hints and tips. You're all so pretty portraiture!

    "Gardiner's Battery was part of a second set of retired batteries which were proposed by General Sir John Jones. These "retired" batteries were set away from the shoreline in order that they could get greater range by taking advantage of the increased altitude of the Rock of Gibraltar. In addition the batteries were more difficult for the enemy to spot. Jones also built similar batteries at Raglan's Battery and Jones' Battery.[2] This high battery fired out west over the top of Victoria Battery which was also a retired battery and both batteries fired out over the top of Saluting Battery that was on the coast.[3]

    In 1859 the battery had ten guns.[3] At the end of the nineteenth century this battery was using the last generation of muzzle loading guns[4] before breech-loaders became the standard.

    The battery was named after the governor Sir Robert Gardiner,[1] who was known for his disregard of the local population.

    These must have been a success as the urge for increased height eventually led to guns being sited on the very top of the rock.'
