Archcliffe Galleries - Dover

Archliffe Gallieres

Date: August 2017

Location: Dover

Delmoished - No

This exploration was particularly interesting because we had to venture into the woods to find the entrance, which was quite tight and filled with spiders. Once inside, we were surprised to find that the space opened up significantly. While we were exploring, we heard other people coming in, which caused me to freak out and turn off my light. It turned out to be another group of explorers, and we ended up talking with them. They even showed us other locations around Dover.

Regarding Archcliffe Galleries, the history of this site is a bit uncertain. It is believed to have been part of a Napoleonic fort. Unfortunately, much of it was destroyed when the new road was constructed, leaving only a few rooms behind, mainly the gun room and the cells. Other than that, I couldn't find much more information about this place.

North Entrance Bridge - Dover

North Entrance Bridge.

Date: august 2018 

Location : Dover

Access : Nope 

Back in Dover once again to explore more of the places we had missed, we headed to the North Entrance. This was definitely an interesting location, although we had no way of getting inside the tunnels since access was restricted. Later, we discovered online that there is an open day once a year when visitors can enter. Several websites mentioned that the North Entrance is a good example of fortification. It served as the main road until 1960, but starting in the 1860s, a new road was constructed that ultimately destroyed much of what was there before. The North Entrance was also used during the wars. After the new road was built, about two-thirds of the water tanks were destroyed and repurposed as dumping grounds. However, one of the water tanks still remains intact. Once the new military road was established, the site fell into disrepair and was abandoned."

location - Chatham 

Delmoished - No 

* NOW B&M* 

We live in the Medway towns and knew that the Staples store was closing down, so we decided to visit the store to retrieve some pictures before it disappeared forever. The store has since been replaced by a B&M store. The Staples store closed its doors in January 2017.

Hellingly hospital - East Sussex

Hellingly Hospital 

Date :July 2017 

Location : Hellingly 

Delmoished  No

After discovering this place online, I was really excited to explore the hospital. We met up with some friends and headed there, but unfortunately, it was sealed off, and there was no way to get in. Although we were a bit disappointed, we didn’t let it get us down and decided to move on to our next location. According to what we read, Hellingly Hospital was once part of the East Sussex County Asylum, which was a large psychiatric hospital that eventually closed down. It was located in a village.
