Best Answer

In 1779 England was at war with America and its allies France, Spain and the Netherlands in the War of Independence. An army of 50,000 waited across the channel, ready to invade. To defend the very important town and port of Dover, simple earthwork batteries were thrown up around the town and on the Western Heights to supplement the now old Medieval Castle. From this simple and inexpensive beginning grew a massive complex of brick and stone consisting of two massive forts, miles of dry ditches, barracks and a hospital which were not finally completed until over ninety years later.
