Summary
The site of a Second World War embarkation hard near the Lifeboat Station at Hythe, known as site NR3.

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.
