During our trip to Dungeness for the day, we noticed this abandoned train station and decided to stop and explore. To our surprise, getting inside was quite easy, and we were shocked by how many original features remained. The station opened in December 1881 but sadly closed to passengers in 1967. It continued to be used for freight trains until 1971, when it was completely abandoned

Our last exploration of the night before heading home led us up the steps to a surprise - the site was still open. Once inside, we started to look around. It was a small and simple site, but still quite fun, although it was a bit damp outside due to the rain. The information at the site explained that it was built as part of Henry VII's plans to defend the harbor. It also mentioned that the large semi-battery was added in the 1740s, and larger guns were added around 1853. In 2014, a spiral case was cut to connect to the castle. The site was used in both World Wars, but it now sits rotting away.

During my visit to Dover, I decided to check out this building. It required a bit of a climb to get to, but it was manageable. There wasn't much to see, as it was pretty burned out, but it was still cool to explore. The hall was reportedly built in the 1880s and closed in 1999. It was originally used as a place for the prison guards from the nearby facility to socialize. Unfortunately, in 2003, a fire broke out due to an arson attack.
