Arethusa , Medway

 Arethusa 


                                            Date: Febury    
                                           Location:  Medway 
                                           Abandoned or Public : public 
                                           Delmoished: NO



I thought I'd take some photos of the outside before it's too late. The building closed its doors in 2019 and remains empty to this day, even after 4 years. The property is once again up for sale, as it apparently shut down due to a lack of bookings.

The statue located at the front of the building is Grade 2, which means that regardless of what happens to the Arethusa building itself, the statue cannot be touched or moved."















Cockham wood fort & type 24 Pillbox Upnor - Medway

 Cockhamwood Fort & Type 24 pillbox

                                           Location:  Medway

"I had a day off work and decided to visit Upnor to see Cockham Wood Fort and the Type 24 pillbox on the waterfront. Although I had been here before, I never really took any photos.

Cockham Wood Fort was built around 1669 but was abandoned around 1818 and was never used due to wars. It was left to rot and became the ruins that you see today.








Type 24 pillbox lies on the beach. It was built between 1940 to protect the beach. Despite falling into the sand, the pillbox is still in good condition. ,
