Monument record TR 34 SW 540 - Tunnel entrance for Tilmanstone Aerial ropeway,betteshanger
Summary
Tunnel entrance for the Tilmanstone Aerial ropeway located at Langdon Hole, to the east of Dover. This sloping entranceway and an associated building is visible on aerial photography taken in 1945 and 1946. Whilst the entrance has been infilled and levelled as of 2001 some external banking to the south and east of the feature is still present. The NMR record suggests the ropeway was closed in the early 1950s.
