Admiralty Harbour is the main harbour for Dover. It is still in use by ferries and other ships.

Finnis Hill was behind Snargate St. but is long gone. The slum buildings were demolished in 1937 and the remaining little community disappeared when the area was redeveloped for a highway scheme.

You could try contacting the Dover Society for further info http://www.doversociety.org.uk/ .
