  Just seen this in BBC news and local news.
  
  Kept very quiet from the general public but lots of work carried out by many volunteers over the last 3 years.
  
  Should help Dover's tourism too - giving another reason to come here (hopefully).

  English Heritage don't want to boost the Drop Redoubt in case it affects visitor numbers to the Castle, Brian
