TR 3110 4083 North Centre and Detached Bastions

North Centre Bastion was begun in 1804 during the Napoleonic Wars, as part of the Western Heights fortress in Dover. It remained unfinished at the end of the war in 1815 but was completed to a revised design between 1859 and 1867; this resulted in two linked bastions known as North Centre Bastion and Detached Bastion (2).

Both were surveyed and researched by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England between 1998 and 2001 as part of the Dover Western Heights Survey Project (event UID 1316220 and monument UID 467989). See the archive report and plans for full details: Pattison P The Western Heights, Dover, Kent; Report no 5 North Centre and Detached Bastions.

An English Heritage site and Scheduled Monument; the Detached Baastion is also known as "Dead Man's Island".

Photos of the Detached Bastion are included under the North Centre Bastion tag.

This is Dover Ferry Port in the February Sunshine, it was 15ºC (59ºF) on that day, was rather warm for february.

This photo is of a ferry, this one was better quality but it was a hazy day so that degraded it a lot me thinks.

This photo is of a Seafrance ferry, it is very low quality as i had to use 4X digital zoom to get in that close. it upset me when i got home to see it in poor condition!!!!

This photo is of a P&O ferry, it is very low quality as i had to use 4X digital zoom to get in that close. it upset me when i got home to see it in poor condition!!!!
