North entrance - Dover

 North Entrance Dover 

Date:  September 2022

Location: Dover

Public or Abandoned: Tours

Demolished:  No


Soon as I saw that the north entrance had an open day I booked up the free ticket to see what it was like inside - I had been wording for years about what it is like inside, and it was the one place I had left on my map to do, we arrived in Dover an hour before our tour time was due to start so we had another look around western heights area at the st marting battery and a few other places too, 

We then went down to the north entrance, and wait for our tour - are time come for the tour and we went in, and I have to say it was pretty interesting to see and the fact it been left how it was also interesting to see  as well  
the volunteers did really well on keeping the place light up and also giving very good information on the tour.


So it said online from a number of different sites that north entrance is a good exampled of fornication,  it was used as the main road always up to 1960  from the 1860s when sadly a new road was put in destroying what is there,  The north entrance was used in the wars,  Once the new road was put it they did destroy 2/3 water tanks using them as dumping grounds but ONE of the water tanks are still in place. After the new military road was put the site fell into disrepair and was abandoned.

the site is once a year on a heritage tour.

North Entrance Bridge - Dover

North Entrance Bridge.


Date: august 2018 
Location : Dover
Access : Nope 



Back in Dover once again to explore more of the places we had missed, we headed to the North Entrance. This was definitely an interesting location, although we had no way of getting inside the tunnels since access was restricted. Later, we discovered online that there is an open day once a year when visitors can enter. Several websites mentioned that the North Entrance is a good example of fortification. It served as the main road until 1960, but starting in the 1860s, a new road was constructed that ultimately destroyed much of what was there before. The North Entrance was also used during the wars. After the new road was built, about two-thirds of the water tanks were destroyed and repurposed as dumping grounds. However, one of the water tanks still remains intact. Once the new military road was established, the site fell into disrepair and was abandoned."

Abandoned BCB Garage - Dover

BCB Garage 


Date:   May 2017

Location: Dover

Demolished:  No




This was our second exploration in Dover, and it was a quick and easy one. Since it was our first visit to the area, we were eager to see what was available. Although this location wasn’t on my list, I was curious to check it out. Unfortunately, we couldn't get inside, so I knew I would have to return at a later date. There isn't much known about this old BCB garage in Dover. What we do know is that it was family-run and operated for over 48 years before closing down in 2015.
