I went to Dover with Chess and Jackal after a lot of nagging :D. We did a few places, Archcliffe gate, St Martins battery, St Margaret's deep shelter and a plotting room at South Foreland.

Archcliffe Gate was knocked down in the 1960's but below ground level some cells and rooms still exist.

One of the gunrooms.
