Orchard Hospital - Dartford

 Orchard Hospital 

Date January | Location Dartford | Satuts  Abandoned 

There isn't much to say about this exploration other than it was really cold and the ground was icy. I was informed about this site by another explorer in the area, so while passing by with my friends and my 5-year-old, we decided to check it out. There isn't much to see, as the buildings are all quite similar. Some have graffiti, some have fire damage, and others are unreachable due to overgrowth. To keep the history brief, Orchard Hospital was established by the Metropolitan Asylum Board in 1902 to provide temporary accommodation during the smallpox epidemic. After the smallpox cases declined, the site was lent to the war officers from 1915 to 1919. Many of the buildings were damaged in World War II from bombings.

I was given the location by a friend of mine, so I thought I'd finally go and check it out. The caves were pretty easy to find, and just like most caves, I couldn't find any history on them.

it said it was the oldest building in Gravesend, it said that all that remains of the leper hospital that was built in 1322,

the site house was also used as a tour chapel, public house, and Georgina barracks, it said that basement of the house aw used as a gas decontamination chamber during the second world war. it said the building still has the 14th-century timber roof.
