The lovely man that showed around the place, had so much history info behind it. It was used in WWII as a gun in placement, then the coastgaurd built their building on top of it, for the amazing veiw (of Dover harbour) they get of course, only to find these tunnels and ammunition storage rooms underneath it. It was good to have a look around and I would mind going back some day when the weather is better.
Anyway a few of my photos, the lads will hopefully put some of their photos up later.

Up in the actual control room of Dover Coastguard, what an awesome place, these guys have the best view I've ever seen in a workplace, god knows how they concentrate on the job in hand. Dover as you probably know i the busiest shipping lane in the world, and looking at the screens these guys have to watch was mind-blowing. Great job lads.

Some random shots back out side the battery
Excellent tour thanks to some very friendly guys, nothing but respect for them, awesome!
