a group of friends and I ventured into the old Gravesend Hospital. It was definitely an experience. First off, while exploring, we stumbled upon a homeless encampment and some drug paraphernalia. We also all saw the same figure or person pass by, but we were unsure of what or who it was. Additionally, we unintentionally scared a group of kids out of the building. Overall, exploring the building was interesting because at the time, there was still a fair amount left inside, but it was also quite trashed.


The building was sold by the #NHS for £2.3 million in 2018, but it has sat empty since then. There have been various plans to turn it into two or three-bedroom apartments, as well as other proposals. The building used to be a maternity unit, which closed in 2006, while the rest of the hospital shut down in 2004.,

Grain Tower - Medway

History:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_Tower

Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century gun tower situated offshore just east of Grain, Kent, standing in the mouth of the River Medway. It was built along the same lines as the Martello towers that were constructed along the British and Irish coastlines in the early 19th century and is the last-built example of a gun tower of this type. It owed its existence to the need to protect the important dockyards at Sheerness and Chatham from a perceived French naval threat during a period of tension in the 1850s.
