After a quick trip around a few sites with VWDirtBoy, UJ, Frosty, Maniac and Wevsky. We saw this charming little gem. Im suprised this place hasn't had more attention by local explorers. Although the building has suffered fire damage and has clearly seen its fair share of damage over the years...
Took a nice trip out a while back to Dover. After walking round the moat for quite a while we were in! :mrgreen:
This has been done a few times, but here's a brief history stolen from undergroundkent.co.uk:
The North Centre and Detached Bastions are located between the Drop Redoubt and the...
Had a nice trip to Dover the other day, and did the North Entrance for the first time. This has been covered quite a few times, so I will just quote the history from Underground Kent for those of you unfamiliar with this fortification. :)
The weakest link in fortress defence is often the...
I was out and around Dover Saturday afternoon and came across these two little beauties, I guess ones an old water tower of sorts and the other an old follie or hunting lodge ?
Be interesting to know if any one has any history on teses places ??
:)
This elusive set of tunnels has been evading me ever since I started getting into this hobby about 3 years ago. I've seen pictures, I've missed out on opportunities to see them on more than one ocassion, and for at least the last 2 years I've been religiously checking and trying to find access...

Lydden Spout Battery nr. Dover, March 2010
I had found this place a couple of years ago now but had never bothered returning to get better photos. This was my 6th visit to the shelter and along for the ride was Urban Junkie, Skydiver, Maniac, Shadow, Muffie and Frosty. 8-)
This is still...
Popped back here the other night with Cave Zombie, and this time I photographed the place. :D
I missed a lot on previous trips, the place is a lot bigger than you first think it's going to be, and there's a lot more detail and features than I first remember seeing, so much so I thought it was...
I paid this place a visit last week, my first explore in over a year....god I miss it.
Anyway was great fun getting back into it, got a new D60 that I have been trying to get to grips with.
This trip was a bit of a cock up, broke my tripod and also forgot to turn my ISO of auto so all the...
Just remembered about these photos, so thought I'd stick them up anyway.
The guilford shaft is a spiral staircase built inside the cliff face at Dover consisting of 214 steps, connecting the Moats Bulwark at the bottom of the cliff to Dover Castle. The staircase is broken up by different levels...
During the Napoleonic era fortifications were added to Dover Castle to improve defenses. Located in the east moat overlooking the harbor is East Demi Bastion. The Bastion consists of a gun battery and a lower level looking out to sea from the face of the cliff. A network of staircases and...
Hudson’s bastion was constructed on the eastern side of Dover castle to improve defences after the threat of invasion by Napoleon. It can be accessed from the castle via Hudson’s passage, a straight tunnel linking the castle to the moat. The bastion was designed with a number of firing slits...
Of all my years exploring Dover, this is one place that kept evading me, mainly because I didn't know where the entrance was! Oh I've spent many hours wondering around the area trying to find it!
Anyhow, Frosty and co kindly showed me where it was the other night (cheers dude!) , so I was able...
After getting to dover the other night with a couple of hours to spare, me and a friend decided to go have a look at the oil mills. I have visited this site loads in the past but not since the trees had been cut down so popped up to grab some new photos. Here are a couple of pictures from upper...
