Gravesend ' M ' block - Gravesend

Gravesend M block 

                                           

                                      

                                           Date: June
                                           Location: Gravesend
                                           Abandoned or Public : abandoned 
                                           Delmoished: N0

a group of friends and I ventured into the old Gravesend Hospital. It was definitely an experience. First off, while exploring, we stumbled upon a homeless encampment and some drug paraphernalia. We also all saw the same figure or person pass by, but we were unsure of what or who it was. Additionally, we unintentionally scared a group of kids out of the building. Overall, exploring the building was interesting because at the time, there was still a fair amount left inside, but it was also quite trashed.


The building was sold by the #NHS for £2.3 million in 2018, but it has sat empty since then. There have been various plans to turn it into two or three-bedroom apartments, as well as other proposals. The building used to be a maternity unit, which closed in 2006, while the rest of the hospital shut down in 2004.,














































Grain Tower - Medway

Grain Tower


Location: Grain 
Date: 24-05-2018 


I tried to go to Grain Tower about three or four times before, but I kept being cut off by the tide coming in fast. However, one day we managed to time the tide right and headed out to the fort. It's about a mile walk, but the fort is an interesting place. Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century fort located in Medway, Kent. It was utilized during both World War I and World War II but was decommissioned in 1956. The fort remained abandoned until around 2014 when it was sold for approximately £400,000. Subsequently, the tower was put back up for sale and resold in 2023 for about £159,000.
