The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway was opened in 1927 and requisitioned during World War II to carry supplies to Dungeness by armoured train.
Dungeness was one of the locations of PLUTO - Pipeline under the Ocean - part of a network of underground fuel pipelines built to supply the allied invasion against Germany.
The walk from here to West Hythe passes the concrete 'sound mirror', an acoustic invention designed in the 1930s to hear approaching enemy aircraft.
The system did not come up to expectations but fortunately it was superceded by radar just before The Battle of Britain.
