Moat Bulwark & Guildford Shaft - Dover

Moat Bulwark & Guildford Shaft.


Date Jan 2018 
Location : Dover 
Abandoned or public-abandoned
Delmoished No 

Our last exploration of the night before heading home led us up the steps to a surprise - the site was still open. Once inside, we started to look around. It was a small and simple site, but still quite fun, although it was a bit damp outside due to the rain. The information at the site explained that it was built as part of Henry VII's plans to defend the harbor. It also mentioned that the large semi-battery was added in the 1740s, and larger guns were added around 1853. In 2014, a spiral case was cut to connect to the castle. The site was used in both World Wars, but it now sits rotting away.

Jackie Pallo Home - Broadstairs

Jackie Pallo Home  Date: 14-07-2019  Location : Broadstairs  I made a quick roadside stop to explore this house, but didn't know much about it beforehand. Once inside, I found it to be extremely gutted, with almost nothing inside except for a really cool patio. I learned that a former wrestling star, Jackie, lived in the house until he sadly passed away in 2006. The house was left abandoned, and now a developer from Broadstairs has applied to have the farmhouse demolished to make way for more houses.

St bartholomew hospital - Rochester - kent

St Bartholomew hospital  Date: Jan 2020 Location: Rochester Public or Abandoned: Abandoned Demolished:  Yes This was a quick visit and spear of the moment, it was not on my to-do list as I didn't even know the hospital was abandoned, and though it was still in use, getting in was easy  , once inside we look around the empty rooms , there was not much left in the site but the morgue  was the best part as the table slab was still there all in once piece, It said that st bartholomew hospital was built in 1078 but closed down in 2016, The site had planning permission to build 155 homes, They have since restored the building to homes. so the site is no longer  2021

Battery observation point Folkstone

  Battery observation point  Date: August 2024 Location:  Kent  public/abandoned - Abandoned  "We stumbled upon this place while exploring the area, and it came up on the map. We took a short walk to the observation post, and initially, I wasn't sure if we could get in. To my surprise, it was really easy to access. There wasn't much to see inside, as the building was in a state of decay and being overrun by nature." I can't find much history on this battery observation point, but I know it would have been used in the wars like most others.
