RAF Wyton Photographic Factory - Cambridgeshire,

 RAF Wyton Photographic Factory

Date : January
Location Cambridgeshire,
Delmoished No


This was our first exploration of the day, and we had about four or five locations planned in total. When we arrived, we thought the place was sealed, but after snooping around, we found a way in. My daughter, my friend, and I walked around inside, and my friend explained how much it has changed over the past year. The site is in an extremely sorry state, but it was pretty cool to see. What made the place semi-spooky was the sound of someone clay shooting in the distance, which echoed throughout the entire building.

The factory was built around the 1950s and was the first of its kind in the UK. It housed the Bomber Command's photographic reconnaissance squadron, located slightly away from the airfield. The site was intended to carry out reconnaissance before and after strikes to help support nuclear V-bombs.

It was designed to process film taken from planes using darkrooms. The facility was operational until around the 1990s when it closed down due to advancements in camera technologh

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.
