Orchard Hospital
Date January | Location Dartford | Satuts Abandoned
There isn't much to say about this exploration other than it was really cold and the ground was icy. I was informed about this site by another explorer in the area, so while passing by with my friends and my 5-year-old, we decided to check it out. There isn't much to see, as the buildings are all quite similar. Some have graffiti, some have fire damage, and others are unreachable due to overgrowth.
To keep the history brief, Orchard Hospital was established by the Metropolitan Asylum Board in 1902 to provide temporary accommodation during the smallpox epidemic. After the smallpox cases declined, the site was lent to the war officers from 1915 to 1919.
Many of the buildings were damaged in World War II from bombings.
