Monument record TR 34 SW 2022 - Gatehouse and guardroom for the eastern entrance of the Citadel, Western Heights, Dover
Summary
The entrance to the Citadel at this location was first implemented in the Napoleonic phase of works on the site. A proposal plan dating to 1809 shows an entrance close to the site of the current eastern entrance, though this was only a simple revetted passage and it is likely that the entrance as visible today was begun in the late 1850’s. This structure is a casemated and bombproof structure built of yellowish grey stock brick in English bond, providing the only vehicular entrance to the Citadel.
