Building record TR 34 SW 2551 - Medieval Tunnels beneath the Spur Redan at Dover Castle

Summary

The tunnels which linked the spur redan and St. Johns tower to the northern entrance were originally constructed in the 13th century after the 1216 siege. The spur has undergone numerous periods of alteration and modernisation but the Medieval tunnels have remained throughout and provide the primary means of access to the spur from the castle.
