Monument record TR 34 SW 2087 - Cartridge Store for St. Martins Battery, Western Heights, Dover

Summary

After the completion of the battery in 1877 it was deemed necessary to find a location for a new cartridge store, safely away from the integral build of the battery. Subsequent plans, dated 1888-9, show that it was to be placed underground in the hill behind the battery, reached along a passage that opened behind the artillery store. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
