The White Cliffs of Dover

Historical landmark
12 mins
The Dover area resonates with historical importance that spans generations and the placement of an interpretation of Winston Churchill in this location draws focus to the Second World War in particular. Winston Churchill has today become synonymous with rousing speeches that evoked a sense of pride and national spirit during turbulent times, but it was his activities as well as his words that reinforced his patriotic presence.

St Margaret's Museum and Local History

Museum
1 min
