Arethusa Venture Centre ( Swimming pool ) - Upnor - Kent

  
 Arethusa Venture Centre


Date September | Location Kent | Delmoshied - No 


I have known about Arethusa for many years now, ever since it became abandoned. I also have a vivid memory of visiting here when I was younger. Exploring the pool was easy to get into, but it took a few attempts to look around properly, as I was slightly scared. Unfortunately, the pool was covered in overgrown plants.  

To keep the history brief, the place closed down in 2019 and was raided in August 2025 for a cannabis farm. They want to demolish the site and build a bunch of new flats. The site was built in 1935 and was used by schools to offer a number of different activities.
