New Brompton college Old school building - Gillingham Medway

New Brompton College Old school 

Date:   Feb 2014

Location:  Gillingham

Public or Abandoned:  Abandoned

Demolished:  Yes

The school formerly known as Upbury Manor, now called New Brompton College, was built in the 1950s and underwent several name changes over the years. It used to have a swimming pool but by 2005, the pool was filled in and replaced with a dance studio. 

I attended New Brompton College from 2005 to 2010, during which time the school changed its name twice. In 2010, it became what it is known as today after receiving funding to become an academy. I recall being told to set a good example for the school during this transition. 

In 2014, I came across information online that the school was awaiting demolition. I had the opportunity to take photos inside the school and noticed that much of the old school work from 2010 was still on display. The classrooms remained the same and it was a strange feeling to photograph the school, but also nostalgic to revisit the place where I spent much of my childhood.

CSA factory - Strood Medway

CSA factory 

Date:  May 2014 

Location: Strood Medway 

Public or Abandoned:   Abandoned 

Demolished:  Yes 

During my exploration of my local town, I stumbled upon a massive abandoned factory located in the Strood industrial estate. Although I was unsure of its purpose at the time, I later discovered that it was a CSA factory. I did not know what they produced or what their operations were. The factory was quite sizable, but unfortunately, it was in a state of disrepair with a lot of trash scattered around the area..
