Historic dockyard Visit 2 - Chatham Medway

Historic Dockyard

Date: September

Location: Chatham

Abandoned or Public: Public

Delmoished: No

This was our second visit to the dockyard. It was meant to be a quick trip, but we ended up spending over five hours there. Our three-year-old played in the soft play area at the café for about an hour. We also did the Octonauts Trail, which was great fun for young kids. Just be sure to check if it's available, as it only runs in half terms.

During our visit, we were able to explore the boat and the rope room, which we didn't have enough time for last time. It was very interesting to see the big boat and learn about how people lived on it, but we noticed that the very lower level was closed off. We're not sure if it's always been like this or not. The rope room was also fascinating as we got to see how rope was made in a massive room. Additionally, you can book rope experiences for free.

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.
