On the plus side my carer and I visited the Fan Bay Tunnels last week which are worth a gawp if you are a NT member.

+ NT are working on getting the staircase down Langdon Cliffs back in use (it's all rather complicated as 'footpaths' are supposedly KCC responsibility)
It's a great shame that a lot of the WW2 stuff was either demolished or, as in the case of the tunnels, actually filled in by KCC with rubble a few decades ago when the government were actually giving out grants for such wanton destruction of our heritage.
Much the same idiocy went on over the mines closing. The 'interesting' stuff such as winding machinery and pit-head baths at Betteshanger etc was demolished with an unseemly haste, which is why the super-duper new Mining Heritage (sic) Centre will have nothing to display other than half a dozen miners lamps and some tubes of pneumoconiosis contaminated sputum.
