Gateway to England

Dover is known as the Gateway to England.

On top, Dover Castle, which has seen it all.

Below, the Gateway - flats built by Dover Corporation to replace buildings devastated during WWII. Built as what is now called "affordable housing" at reasonable rents. Due to political decisions, most of them are now privately owned.

 

Architects: Kenneth Dalgleish and Roger Pullen.

“..... an essay in architectural diplomacy”. (From a very enjoyable book, Dover, What We Saw,

The Architecture of a Port Town, by Philip Hutton and Christopher Lumgair.)
