"Back in dover , over again to start exploring more places that we have missed - this time we headed to the North Entrance. This was a definitely interesting place to get down to. We had no way of getting inside the tunnels unless we were able to (which we weren't). We later found out online that you could go to an open day once a year.
It was mentioned on several websites that the North Entrance is a good example of fortification. It was used as the main road up until 1960, but from the 1860s, a new road was put in, ultimately destroying what was there. The North Entrance was used in the wars. After the new road was built, they destroyed 2/3 of the water tanks, using them as dumping grounds. But, one of the water tanks is still in place. Once the new military road was put in, the site fell into disrepair and was abandoned.".
