The weakest link in fortress defence is often the entrances, so it is hardly surprising that much ingenuity goes into their design. The North Entrance to the Western Heights was the nearest to the town of Dover and most convenient for access, either for supplies or by an attacking force. Accordingly, its defences were substantial, comprising two bridges and a tunnel. The entrance dates from the Royal Commission period of the 1860s, and superseded the entrance dating from Napoleonic times - a single bridge over a ditch.
The two bridges crossed the twin ditches (or lines), which were separated by an earth bank -- the tenaille. Neither bridge was fixed. The first of the two had a drop-down section hinged at the tenaille end, while the second had a section that could be raised. The roadway cut through the tenaille was 'S' shaped, so that artillery fire could not be brought to bear on the entrance to the tunnel from the approach road.

The notorious one-take, on the spot, improvised recording that took place in the queensbridge projects in marley marl's apartment. This is the one people heard first in 1984. Roxanne recorded it off the top of her head between laundry cycles. The video version is the studio recorded version they had to make after being sued by UTFO for copyright infringement.
