I went to Fortress of Mimoyecques in 2010 but the site was shut to visitors at that time. I decided to make a Historic Document about the history at the Mimoyecques site!



From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The V-3 was also known as the Hochdruckpumpe ("High Pressure Pump," HDP for short), which was a code name intended to hide the real purpose of the project. It was also known as Fleißiges Lieschen ("Busy Lizzie")

Frank Illingworth's Tunnel & Cave (Historic Document)

Please see this web site for some fantastic information into this location:

http://thanetunderground.blogspot.co.uk/2006/05/frank-illingworths-puzzle-tunnel.html



Ramsgate and most of Thanet has stories to tell, with tunnels and caves all over.



This tunnel is the most extreme iv eve been too. Frank Illingworth's tunnel in Pegwell Bay, has a strange past!



A tunnel just big enough to crew through has been dug and goes into the cliff for 500feet. The ends of this tunnel has two very small shafts going up to where a house would have once been above on the cliff.



This is my 2009 failed explore of the tunnel as well as my historic look into the history.

http://www.subterraneanhistory.co.uk



This is a small portion of what remains at the former gun battery.





https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Foreland

South Foreland is a chalk headland on the Kent coast of southeast England. It presents a bold cliff to the sea, and commands views over the Strait of Dover. It is 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Dover and 15 miles south of North Foreland. It is the closest point on the British mainland to the European continent at a distance of only 20.6 miles (33.2 km).





This proximity gives it military significance and during World War II a coastal battery was sited on the headland along with a radar station. Lying between the busy port of Dover and the deadly Goodwin Sands, the two lighthouses were important for navigation but both have now been retired. Much of the area is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public; it is traversed by the Saxon Shore Way.
