The site of a Second World War embarkation hard near the Lifeboat Station at Hythe, known as site NR3. It was built by the Admiralty between 1942 and 1943 under the control of Dover Command in preparation for D-Day. This was a 4-berth hard for landing craft transporting troops (an LCT hard). It consisted of a concrete loading ramp equipped with steel framed mooring points. Embarkation hard sites were built with associated access roads, approach roads, transit areas and accommodation and ancillary buildings. This was one of three embarkation sites in Hythe and one of fifteen sites under Dover Command.
