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.

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.

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
