    The plan above was one drawn up in 1870 and never saw the light of day. The proposal was to extend the port out to the west along Shakespeare Beach. The Admiralty Pier is at the top, with the Lord Warden Hotel and the Dover Town terminus of the South Eastern Railway at its base. Archcliffe Fort is on the left with a new covered train ferry berth to its right, shielded by a new pier at the bottom of the picture. One of innumerable plans for Dover Harbour over the years which have never come to fruition.

    I assume they were referring back to it in the Dover Times of 1913, in the context of the extraordinary proposal to build new docks along the seafront.
