Blackwidow Submarine - Strood

BlackWidow Submarine

Date:   December 2014

Location: Medway

Demolished:  no

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.

There isn't much to say about this location, except that if you visit, please show respect, as it is a memorial for those who died in a crash during World War II. I happened upon it by chance and took a moment to pay my respects before leaving the site.

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.

This bunker is one of only eight constructed between 1951 and 1956. When I first discovered it, I didn’t know what it was and couldn't gain entry. As a result, I could only take exterior shots of it.

It is rumored that there is an air raid shelter in Broom Hill Park; however, no evidence has been found to support this claim. While searching for these alleged shelters, I came across what appeared to be covered objects, but I was unable to lift them.
