Sliverlands Orphanage - Surrey

Sliverlands Orphanage

* AS FROM 2020 - SITE BEING RESTORED *


I'm happy to share my experience of exploring the Sliverlands Orphanage building back in 2019. Fortunately, the building had been restored to its former glory. It was not difficult to access at the time, and we were able to explore the building without any disturbance. This beautiful house was rebuilt in 1820 and became a large country house for a local brewer in 1849. Later, in 1938, it became an "actor's" orphanage and served for around 20 years before becoming a nursing school for nearby hospitals and asylums. Unfortunately, the building was abandoned in 2002 and remained so until 2020, when restoration work began. In the early 2000s, there were plans to turn it into a paedophilia clinic, but the community rejected the proposal. The building is also a grade 2 listed building."

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.
