Fort Burgoyne, Dover, Dec '13

[chopper]

Fort Burgoyne was completed in 1890 and was one of the Palmerston Forts built to protect Dover from both sea and inland attacks from the French.

It is joined to the former Connaught Barracks which was used until recently. Now there are plans underway to develop Connaught into housing.

We hit many sites this day, most with limited or no success. Annoyingly, we arrived here with about an hour of sunlight remaining, and given the perilous entry/exit, we left before it was total darkness. It was hard enough getting about in daylight!

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed

shame you didn't have much time in the place but at least you got to see it. Were there still loads of equipment and tools around? I went earlier in the year when they had just started work on the place. Lots of scaffold towers and running generators. I am surprised that they still havent made much effort to secure the place.
