Eltham place - Greenwich - English Heritage site.

 

Eltham place 

Date: August 2024
Location: Dover
public/abandoned - Public 
Delmoished - No

I'm not gonna lie, one day my 4-year-old and I were bored, so we were looking on the English Heritage site for places we could visit. I saw that Eltham Palace was doing summer trails (which we had never done before). So, we drove down to Greenwich and checked out the house and the grounds.
Normally, houses are not really my type of places to explore, even on English Heritage sites, as they do somewhat bore me. However, this one was pretty interesting and funky. My daughter was more interested in doing the trail and the play park there.
Overall, it was an interesting little exploration.
I also found out that apparently the place was once a favored medieval palace and then a Tudor Royal Residence. It was also transformed around 1930 by millionaires Stephen and Virginia Courtauld. You get a taste of the different periods as you explore the house.

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.
