Capel Battery
Capel Battery was built in 1941 on the cliff tops of Capel-Le-Ferne between Dover and Folkestone. With THE COLLAPSE OF FRANCE in June 1940 Britain found herself facing possible invasion. Accordingly there was an urgent need for guns to defend the coast, particularly in the area around Dover, only twenty-two miles from German occupied France.
