Dover's Western Heights Devil's Alley Tunnels, Detached & North Centre Bastion.

#Dover #WesternHeights #Fortification You join us this week at the North Centre and Detached Bastions and surrounding ditches, informally known as 'Devils Alley' to the locals, which formed an important element of the Western Heights defences, protecting part of the land front to the north-west of the port of Dover. They were built into the linear defences of the Heights and provided a platform for artillery and infantry with casemates below being used as barracks. Work on the bastion was started in 1805 though was left in an unfinished state until 1860 when a major phase of improvements to the fort as a whole was underway. By 1862 the bastion comprised two distinct elements (north centre, and detached bastions) built to a more powerful and coherent design. Both bastions supported some artillery until around 1900, after which their use for any purpose was intermittent; small scale re-occupation for local defence occurred in both the first and second world wars when the fortifications were mainly used as barracks for the troops travelling over the channel to France.
