Hoo ROC - Medway

Hoo ROC post 

Date : May 

Location - Hoo

delmoished -  no 

We had visited the ROC before, so finding it was not too difficult. Although it appeared to be locked, we recalled from our previous visit that we simply needed to lift the lock to gain entry.

However, this time we discovered the ROC in a terrible condition, covered in graffiti and lacking anything of interest inside. The ROC was sold for £18,000 in 2015. Like most ROCs, it was opened in 1960 and closed in 1991."

Marlborough Road Annexe - Gillingham

Marlborough Road Nursery ( Annexe) 

date:  May 

Location - Gillingham

demolished - nope

I had driven past this place for years but never really explored it until recently. So, we decided to slip through the fence and take a look at the old burnt nursery. Once we were inside, we found the place riddled with needles that homeless people had been using to stay out of the weather. At the same time, I was surprised by how much was left inside.

The nursery reportedly closed down in 2009 after experiencing several arson attacks. UPDATE: The site is now completely burnt out, with nothing left inside.

National Slate Museum - North wales

National Slate Museum

I recently visited the Slate Museum for the second time, and I was amazed at how much I had missed during my first visit. The place is rich in history, with so much to see, do, and explore that one could easily spend several days there. I am definitely planning to return in the future to fully explore the area. The slate museum is situated in an old slate quarry, and the workshops date back to the 19th century. While they have been left unused and abandoned, they have now been transformed into a museum.
