I hardly come up to Dover anymore  due to the fact I have no reason to go up there but today we were in Dover to check out the north entrance tour, 

after the tour i thought i check out some of the places I have been to in the past, I have to say each place still looks the same and is still very trashed.

St martin battery 

( 2017 report) 

It said that St Martin battery was built in the 1870's it also had 3x 10inc RML guns, and the battery overlooks the western docks, This battery also has a deep shelter.

Abandoned BCB Garage - Dover 

( 2017 report & 2019 report ) 

There is not much history on this Old BCB garage in Dover, All we know about this garage is that i was family-run,  the shop was run for over 48 years before it closed its doors back in 2015, 

Sadly in 2021, the garage was used in part of a murder investigation on a murder that took place and was searched by the police.

Archcliffe Galleries - Dover

( 2017 report) 

Archcliffe Galleries, the history on this site is a bit touch and go, but it said that it used to be part of a Napoleonic fort, Sadly a lot it got destroyed when the new road was built, Leaving only a few rooms behind maily the gun room and the cells ,  other that i can not find much more history on this place

Newhaven Fort - East Sussex

 New haven fort 

Date:  September 2022

Location: New haven

Public or Abandoned: Public

Demolished:  No

Just as a spear of the moment thing we decided to hop in the car and drive up to the new haven to go and explore the fort,  The fort cost just under £9.95 per person to get in but that price does include re-entry at any point for the year ( annual pass ).  Driving up to new haven took us a little under 2hrs, and we was glad the weather held out - as we been having rubbish weather recently it sayed dry for all the day - the fort is dog-friendly too so good for your 4 legged friends too - we spent a good 1 1/30 looking around the fort going in and out all the rooms, and then spent another 1 1/30 in the play park that on-site with our toddler who love a play park;') so she was happy when she saw that - 

the fort is easy to access all way round but some the corridors were very small and your 4-legged friend are allowed in all the rooms too apart from the cafe,   They had an Air-raid expedition on at the time of our visit which was pretty well details and very interesting

So it is said that New haven fort was built back in the 19th century and is one of the largest defense systems in Sussex, is also said that Newhaven fort is 1/72 forts that was British Government under Prime Minister Lord Palmerston.

It said that that fort was built in 1862 and took 10 years to build,  Its also said by the end of the 19th century the fort was outdated and needed updating.
