Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Pilot Inn There has been an inn on this site since 1633 when a group of wreckers lured a Spanish vessel, the Alfresia, onto the shingle murdered the crew and looted the cargo before building the inn from the wreckage of the ship. As the name suggests ships would take on pilots from this point to help navigate through the Straits of Dover. The level crossing is for the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which had its original southern terminus here before the extension to Dungeness was completed. The station survived the new extension though suffered after the war when the track was reduced to a single line and became an unstaffed halt until its closure in 1977. |
