 The
Dover Castle Story (English Heritage Minatures S.)
Dover Castle has witnessed almost a thousand years of British
history. This pocket sized book tells that story from the heights
of the keep to the depths of the secret wartime tunnels that
extend for over four miles inside the white cliffs. Tour Dover.
 Images
of England - Dover
Dover has been a place of passage for over 2000 years, its Roman
pharos, or lighthouse, and Norman castle witnessing the development
of the town and port below them. This fascinating compilation
of over 220 photographs and other illustrations has been drawn
from the author's extensive collection, and the archives of
the Dover Express where he worked for forty-five years. It captures
not only major historic events but also the everyday life of
the town and its townspeople. These pages contain photographs
which cover the last 150 years: from welcome arches in the streets
of Dover, paddle-steamers ready to make the Channel crossing,
to men excavating chalk from the cliffs and the construction
of the massive Admiralty Harbour. There are images of children
paddling in the sea during an Edwardian summer, and, from the
middle of the last century, the men of the British Expeditionary
Force filling the decks of destroyers at Admiralty Pier after
their rescue from Dunkirk. Dover in The Archive Photograph Series
gives us the opportunity to see the town through a collection
of extraordinary photographs, many of which have never been
published before. Tour
Dover.
 The
Dover Patrol, 1914-18
From its fledgling beginnings at the start of World War I, by
the war's end the Dover Patrol had grown into one of the most
important Royal Navy commands of the war, performing several
duties simultaneously in the southern North Sea and Dover Straits.
