Monument record TR 34 SW 2054 - The Artillery Store/Shoemakers Shop of the Citadel, Western Heights, Dover
Summary
A single cell Artillery Store was constructed between 1871 and 1888 On the south-west face of the Citadel, between the casemated barracks nos 12-14 and 15-17. It was built using brick with a hipped slate roof. It was later (at some point before 1911) adapted as a Shoemaker’s Shop for the repair of army boots, probably replacing a similar facility, which in 1897 was located in one of the casemates in the Upper South Lines Casemates. It has since been demolished. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
