Paid Tour - See What Is Behind The Historic North Entrance Doors | Western Heights | DOVER

HISTORY Western Heights : Dover ~ 'The North Entrance' "One of the weakest links in fortress defence are the entrances, so it is hardly surprising that much ingenuity goes into their design. The North Entrance to the Western Heights was the nearest to the town of Dover and most convenient for access, either for supplies or by an attacking force. Accordingly, its defences were substantial, comprising two bridges and a tunnel. The entrance dates from the Royal Commission period of the cc1860s, and superseded the entrance dating from Napoleonic times – a single bridge over a ditch." "The two bridges crossed twin ditches (or lines), which were separated by an earth bank – the tenaille. Neither bridge was fixed. The outer of the two had a drop-down section hinged at the tenaille end, while the inner had a section that could be raised. The roadway cut through the tenaille was ‘S’ shaped, so that artillery fire could not be brought to bear on the inner entrance (to the tunnel) from the approach road." ...
