A damp September morning saw us gathering at the National Trust’s White Cliffs site at Dover to tour their Fan Bay and Wanstone Second World War gun battery sites.

Thanks to Gravesham Borough Council, crucial re-stabilisation of the nationally important remains of the Tudor Gravesend Blockhouse (1539/40) was completed in July 2022. Hopefully, this will ensure the excellent condition and continued public visibility of this Scheduled Ancient Monument for years to come.
