Lydden Spout dover april 2013

[Wevsky]

This has been the one shelter i dover that's eluded me due to the entrance or rather the route down to it!three years ago i had a go and last year but my body would not allow me to go down the ever disappearing cliff path to it..​

Fast forward 3 years and with a lot of encouragement from the guys i finally got down to it ..cheers lads​

Visited with SpaceInvader Obscurity and UrbanJunky was a great meet up and pukka day out ​

Brief blagged history​

Lydden Spout Battery was constructed in 1941 on the cliffs between Dover and Folkestone. This consisted of three 6� naval gun positions, magazines, gun rooms, a plotting room and a large deep shelter. The guns were removed in the 1970’s but the foundations are still visible to date. All underground parts are in a good condition. Above ground most buildings were demolished but an officers mess remains and is now used as a cow shed​
