Fort Gilkicker is a historical coastal fort built between 1863 and 1871. The fort features a total of 22 casemates, along with five 12-inch guns, seven 10-inch guns, and five 9-inch guns.

The history of this place is unclear, but it is believed to have been a school for children with special needs, such as autism. The center aimed to provide a safe environment where these children could learn valuable life skills, including cooking and other activities. This information is based on accounts from other explorers and our observations while exploring the facility.

Sliverlands Orphanage - Surrey

Sliverlands Orphanage

Sate 22-09-2019

Location: Surrey

* AS FROM 2020 - SITE BEING RESTORED *

I'm happy to share my experience of exploring the Sliverlands Orphanage building back in 2019. Fortunately, the building had been restored to its former glory. It was not difficult to access at the time, and we were able to explore the building without any disturbance. This beautiful house was rebuilt in 1820 and became a large country house for a local brewer in 1849. Later, in 1938, it became an "actor's" orphanage and served for around 20 years before becoming a nursing school for nearby hospitals and asylums. Unfortunately, the building was abandoned in 2002 and remained so until 2020, when restoration work began. In the early 2000s, there were plans to turn it into a paedophilia clinic, but the community rejected the proposal. The building is also a grade 2 listed building."
