Fort Pitt Remains  

Date:   Jan 2015

Location: Medway

Demolished: yes

On a cold January morning, I heard rumors that Fort Pitt has tunnels running beneath the school. Curious, I went out to investigate and see if I could find them. Unfortunately, I had no luck, as all the entrances I discovered were sealed off.

It is said that the fort was built sometime between 1805 and 1819 in Chatham, Kent. In 1920, the fort was used as a hospital and was later taken over by the grammar school, which is known as Fort Pitt Grammar School.

Location: Medway

Demolished:  Yes

Living locally i thought ill check this out, but there was nothing really to see other than housing and a few bricked-up walls, 

it said there was a "fort" on delce road in history, and there is very little evidence to prove this there were 1/2 reports about in the past but haven't been able to find them,   The only bit that still stands that could of proved it was a fort is the car dealership using one the old magazine rooms.

Not much can be said about this submarine, as it dates back to the Cold War and is located in the River Medway. It’s always been a place I’ve wanted to explore, but I have never been able to find a way in or locate the person who owns the submarine.

Date:   December

Location: Portsmouth

I discovered on the Portsdown Tunnels website that Candy Pit is actually an abandoned quarry. While searching for something else, I inadvertently stumbled upon small chalk holes in the wall. They were easy to climb into, but I ended up getting covered in chalk.
