Last weekend, my friends and I traveled to Arundel for my university graduation ceremony. We decided to make a weekend of it and spent a day at Arundel Castle. The castle was magnificent and imposing, and we spent most of the day exploring its interior and admiring the surrounding grounds.

Arundel Castle is a remodeled and restored medieval castle originally built by Roger de Montgomery on Christmas Day in 1067..

Location: Cliffe

Demolished:  No

My friend and I were taking a walk around the marsh area when I kept hearing about an old explosive factory located nearby. I had never seen it before, so I was intrigued and wanted to take a closer look. Unfortunately, I couldn't get too close, so I used a long lens on my camera to capture some pictures. The factory, known as Cliffe Explosive Works, was established in the 1890s. Today, only a few buildings remain standing, while others are now buried. It was once a chemical explosive factory.

While walking around the marsh, I stumbled upon a small bunker that I had never seen before. Intrigued, I wanted to discover more about this area since I had never ventured this far into the marsh. Although the bunker was mostly empty, it was still an interesting find. According to a local, the old decoy airfield is believed to date back to 1941-1942.
