Background InformationDuring the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, the parish of Buckland in Dover witnessed extensive urban expansion, driven by the growth of Dover as a principal cross-Channel port and railway terminus. Terraced developments such as Magdala Road were constructed to accommodate the expanding population, particularly transport workers employed by the booming local railway networks, notably the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, whose mainline infrastructure directly adjoined the rear boundaries of these town plots.
