Date June| Location Sevenoaks | Demolished No 

Since we were already in the area, I had this church marked on my list. After visiting another church that was closed, we headed to this one. I must say, the church was lovely, but I felt quite out of place in the surrounding area. I definitely stood out as being different. We spent some time exploring the church, and it was so nice and peaceful inside, similar in layout to many other churches. It is said that the church dates back to the 13th century.

Abandoned carehome - Sevenoaks

 Abandoned care home 

Daet June | Location Kent | Delmosihed - No 

I had this place pinned for about 5 or 6 years but lost the pin. It then popped up on social media, so I went searching for it again and found it after about 20 minutes of looking. This time, I noticed that the maps showed how burnt it was. Since we were already out exploring, we decided to head over to Sevenoaks to take a look. Finding somewhere to park was a pain, but we eventually found a spot nearby and walked down the road for about 5 minutes.

Getting inside was easy. Once we were in, we saw that it was burnt out and extremely overgrown. I wasn't there for a long time, but it was still a good little exploration.

Unfortunately, I can't find much history on this place.

RAF detling - Type 22 AA Pillbox

 Type 22 AA

Date - June | Location Kent | Delmoished - Yes / No 

This was just a quick stop since we had other locations we wanted to explore. While we were out, we thought, why not check out this pillbox? I have to say, it is so different from any other pillbox I have seen, and at the same time, it was really interesting. It's just a shame that it was covered in tires, lol. This pillbox was used in World War II and is classified as a Type 22 pillbox.

UCA rochester - Kent

 UCA Rochester 

Date June | Location Rochester | Delmoished - No 

I have known about UCA since it closed down in 2023, but for some reason, I never really attempted to explore it. Back in 2024, I did try once, but there was no way in, so I took some photos through the window and then left. 

Then in 2025, the university started getting visited by urban explorers, local kids, and copper thieves. I told myself I wouldn't bother exploring it. 

Fast forward to June; my best friend came to visit overnight, and we decided to check out the university. We got my almost five-year-old ready, and we went to explore. We spent about two hours inside the university. During that time, there was another group of people exploring too; we didn't see them, but we could hear them. 

My almost five-year-old thought the adventure was cool (she likes exploring anyway). Every mirror she found made her want to dance or have me take a photo, and when we discovered the backdrop, she wanted a mini photoshoot! 

Overall, the exploration was fun. Fun fact: I had considered attending that university back in the day

UCA announced in 2021 that it was closing its doors, and in 2023, the last group of students graduated before it closed for good. It has just been approved for flats.
