"I've been to the fort several times before, maybe 5 or 6 times, but this visit was spontaneous. Even though I was in a grainy area, I decided to head out to the fort (not recommended if you're wearing white shoes!). I just wanted to snoop around, and to be honest, it was worth it. It was so peaceful."

 Grain Tower, which is a mid-19th-century fort located in Medway, Kent. The fort was utilized during both WW1 and WW2, but it was decommissioned in 1956 and remained abandoned until around 2014 when it was sold for around £400,000. Subsequently, the tower was put back up for sale and was resold in 2023 for around £159,000.

I've been meaning to visit the tunnels for quite a while now, but for some reason, I never got around to it. While I was waiting around for pick-up time, I decided to take a look at the tunnels. There are a lot of different rumors about these tunnels, and no one really knows what they were used for.

This was not my first visit and this most prob won't be my last visit. we were showing a friend the tunnels, and this time we had our 3-year-old with me too - who safe to say loved going inside the tunnels ( starting them young aha) , The only difference about visits this time, as I saw there was a small amount of remains of the fort above ground too which I have never notice in the past.

Grain Fort was always an interesting one to explore because the entrances are hidden but in plain sight too -  it said that tunnels A & B are connected and tunnel C is on its own as they have been backfilled somewhere in between.

 it said that the grain fort was built back in 1860, but in 1960 the main fort was demolished leaving only the underground tunnels.

I kept meaning to do these for a long time being local to them, they are on a public footpath so anyone go up to them,and you will encounter dog walkers too, the first house you come across is very overgrown and sadly you can't get inside off it, the second one you come across you can access and look like some old workhouse  with a barn attached to it , for the photography side of things it really cool but is a bit spooky,

Sadly there is not much information on this place 

St Matthew Infant School - borstal

Back in 2014, I visited the primary school but it was sealed apart from the hall across the Road, I finally got around to getting into the main building in 2023

The exploration was pretty simple and easy with no issue at all, Knowing the school and area pretty well makes things a lot easier, I drive past this prob a few times a month and have pretty much watched the school decline

Funny enough the side I did back in 2016 had no access but I'm glad I finally managed to see it all

History:

it is said that in 2005 the school closed down due to it merging with another school near. it was also said in 2007 the building was put up for auction.
