Devil's Tongue

From GibMap

This old Mole is an extension of Chatham's counterguard, and protected the seaward entrance to Gibraltar. Cannons were situated in each end of the gaps during the Great Siege 1779-1783. These guns were such a scourge to the Spanish that this Mole was called Devil's Tongue. A drawbridge called the "Chatham Wicket" led onto the Mole, and the cemented up opening in the sea wall is still visible.
