COVER ILLUSTRATION:
In 1836 Dover's first Museum was opened in the
Guildhall in the Market Square but in 1848 was moved to the first floor of
a new Market and Museum built on the south side of the Market Square. The
Museum was badly damaged by enemy action in the 1940s and much of the
collection was destroyed. Its interesting frontage is now restored and
incorporated in the complex of the Museum and White Cliffs Experience. |
