"In 2018, the fort was used as a setting for the Hollywood film The Last Vermeer."

This statement is incorrect, the fort entrance filmed is not Fort Widley.

The fort used in The Last Vermeer is more likely to be Fort Purbrook - both the run-up road to the entrance, and the entrance to the two forts differ. SkipTrailer (talk) 16:51, 7 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
