St Margarets At Cliffe & Dover Patrol Memorial
The Dover Patrol Monument is a war memorial designed by Sir Aston Webb to commemorate the Royal Navy's Dover Patrol of the First World War. Two identical granite memorial obelisks, 75 feet (23 m) high, were erected near Dover and Calais in 1921 and 1922. A third was erected in Brooklyn, New York, in 1931. The UK monument became a Grade II listed building in August 1966, promoted to Grade II* in August 2015.
The Dover Patrol was formed in July 1914, around a nucleus of the 12 Tribal class destroyers. Through the First World War, a variety of craft served in the patrol—cruisers, destroyers old and new, submarines, mine-sweepers, armed trawlers and drifters, armed yachts, motor launches and other coastal craft—as well as a variety of aircraft - flying boats, aeroplanes, and airships. From time to time, French destroyers were included in the patrol.
The patrol covered the southern part of the North Sea and the eastern portion of the English Channel, including the Straits of Dover. Its duties included escorting merchant ships, hospital ships and troop transports; anti-submarine patrols; sweeping for German mines, and laying British minefields and anti-submarine nets; and bombarding German land forces on the coast of Belgium and northern France. It was commanded by Admiral Reginald Bacon from 1914 until his retirement at the end of 1917, and then by Vice-Admiral Roger Keyes. Six members of the patrol were awarded the Victoria Cross in a single action on 22–23 April 1918, for their part in the Zeebrugge Raid to block the entrance to the port of Bruges-Zeebrugge and so prevent German vessels from leaving port.
Some 2,000 members of the patrol lost their lives during the war. A committee was formed in November 1918 to raise a public subscription for the erection of a monument in memory of the patrol. Over £45,000 was raised, including £1,000 donated by King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians.
Driving Through St. Margarets-At-Cliffe Near Dover, Kent, UK
Driving through the Village of St. Margarets-At-Cliffe to the Dover patrol memorial and Blue Bird Tearooms overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover To France, Clearly seen on a good day.
St Margaret's Bay, Dover, England.
The lovely seaside village of St Margaret's is set in the heart of White Cliffs Country. It first appeared in the Domesday Book as Sancta Margharita with continuing history revolving around its location. From late Victorian times, it developed as a holiday resort and retreat for the well to do, amongst which Lord Byron, Ian Fleming and Noel Coward all stayed or lived here.
Today, the village and bay offer an inspiring backdrop to spectacular countryside and coastline and to a wide range of activities. If you love history, discover The Frontline Britain Trail - a 4 mile circular route - learn about the role of St Margaret's during the Second World War.
The narrow winding road to the bay leads to a car park facing the beach and The Coastguard - Britain's nearest pub to France.
Paths from the bay lead up to the cliff top (be prepared for lots of steps) where you can take a walk and admire the stunning views. Ponies roam the cliff top so don’t be surprised if you come across one or two. The cliff path leads to the Dover Patrol Memorial, and beyond is a fabulous walk to Kingsdown.

War Memorial : Dover Patrol Memorial
Dover Patrol Memorial: The obelisk to honour 'the glorious cooperation and frank comradeship of the French and British Navies during the Great War'. As with its counterpart on the French side of the Channel, at Cap Blanc-Nez, the memorial is dedicated to the Royal Navy command which defended the Strait of Dover during the First World War.A third obelisk was later erected at the entrance to the port of New York in honour of the Patrol's combined actions with the American Navy in the Atlantic Ocean.

Reculver Towers and Roman Fort (Shot with Dji Mavic Air drone in UHD 4k) In high Wind.
Reculver Lane | Reculver, Herne Bay CT6 6SS, England
The Reculver Towers are all that remain of a Saxon church, St. Mary’s. Located near Herne Bay, the church was part of a Roman fort which guarded one end of the Wantsum Channel. The fort was built around 210 AD, whilst the church was constructed in 669 AD. The church was demolished in 1809, as it was thought it would collapse into the sea. However, the two towers were kept as a landmark for shipping. It is reported that back in the middle ages ships would dip their sails as they sailed passed the Church as a sign of respect.
The two towers are also known as “The Two Sisters” after two nuns from the Faversham Abbey. Frances, the Abbess, had recently recovered from a serious illness, and accompanied by Isabella, they set off on a pilgrimage by boat, to the shrine at Broadstairs. Off the coast of Reculver they became grounded on a sand-bank, Isabella shortly died from exposure but Frances survived. In memory of her sister, Frances had the church restored and had a wooden spire added to each stone tower.

Richborough Roman Fort, originally called “Rutupiae”, in Kent marks the site where the Romans successfully invaded Britain in 43 AD.
Known by many as the “gateway to Britain” and also Richborough Castle, Richborough Roman Fort is thought to have begun as a military stronghold for the invading Roman soldiers and developed into a civilian town and one of the country’s main ports. One reminder of the leisure facilities of this historic town can be seen around five minutes away in the form of the vague remnants of an amphitheatre.
The impressive stone walls that still stand at Richborough Roman Fort are the remains of a wall fort built by the Romans in the late third century AD to protect against the Saxons. Visitors can also see remaining defensive ditches and the ruin of a first century
triumphal arch.

Deal Castle is located right on the beach in the town of Deal in the south east of England, its important position was chosen to guard a stretch of water used as an anchorage and landing ground.
This Tudor artillery castle is built of reused materials such as Caen stone, brick and Kentish ragstone removed from dissolved religious buildings nearby. The castle is surrounded by a curtain wall with six low bastions and gun platforms. The castle itself consists of a three storey circular tower with six semicircular towers projecting from it. These towers give the castle the appearance of a Tudor rose form the air and are perfectly symmetrical. The castle is protected further by a dry moat and gatehouse with its murder holes and gun port which are still in good condition.

Armani to Turn London's Famous Landmark into Luxury Hotel
Armani is planning to transform Admiralty Arch into a hotel.
The name Armani usually pertains to high end clothing and accessories.
Well the upscale fashion giant will be transforming an iconic landmark in London, Admiralty Arch into a luxury hotel.
Armani plans to open a resort inside of the establishment costing more than $150 million. The government had leased the building to developers led by a Spanish entrepreneur, who claims the features of the 100-year-old building will be thoroughly preserved to maintain a piece of history.
However the arch would need major renovation. It is expected that rooms will be available in late 2015.
A Cabinet Office authority states The restoration project that will see Admiralty Arch turned into a publicly accessible landmark hotel is still in the early planning stage.
Designed by English architect, Sir Aston Webb, The Admiralty Arch was completed around 1911. The current design includes five arches and the center one can allow for vehicular and horse traffic for ceremonial purposes.
A Latin inscription on one side of the structure pays tribute to Queen Victoria.

WW2 TOP SECRET AUXILIARY UNIT OPERATIONAL BUNKER Nr DOVER
Deep in a woodland in Kent lays a forgotten relic of the past.
A Dover Auxiliary Unit Operational bunker was used during the Second World War as part of Britain’s secret resistance and underground fighting force.
These units were designed to spring into action should Hitler’s forces make it to the UK. Secret bunkers, observation posts and wireless stations were built inland from the coast.
The idea was that after an invasion the unit's members would lie hidden for 5 days and then appear and bring havoc to the invading army by sabotaging transport links and setting booby traps etc. In reality, it was thought that such units would only have a 10-day life expectancy.
The Patrol consisted of 8 known members:
Sergeant George Marsh.
Samuel Osborne.
Thomas Holmans.
Charles Fayer.
Dennis Dewar.
All of the men where from the local area.
Training took place every Sunday at Tappington Hall near Denton, and personal equipment included a .38 revolver, rubber truncheon, knuckledusters and a fighting knife where used.
The patrol had no particular targets should an attack occur, but it was thought that Hockley Sole, a large house at Standen in the Alkham Valley would have been favoured as a base by the German army and should, therefore, be destroyed.
The Bunker was built by Canadian engineers and had a corrugated iron roofed chamber. A tree stump was bolted onto a manhole cover which was hinged to allow access down an 8ft deep concrete shaft which then led to a chamber built into the hillside. An escape tunnel led to a Nissan hut 3ft off the ground.
The bunker had to remain an absolute secret which wasn’t easy even in the middle of the countryside as poachers frequented the woods and would spot regularly used paths or disturbance in the undergrowth.
Unfortunately, a local lady who lived at the bottom of the track very nearly happened upon the base one day while walking her dog. A Patrol member managed to divert her away, but it was suggested that if Hitler’s army did invade, then she would have to be done away with.
