i used to go splashes when i was a kid all the time - sadly there was no way getting in the building

the site was built in 1990, then had a revamp in 2007, sadly in 2020

Folkstone Harbour Train station

Folkstone Harbour 

 
Date: 6-08-2020 
location: Folkstone 
Current : Open to public 



I have always wanted to visit Folkstone Harbour, even when it was abandoned, but I never had the chance until now. When I saw that they had restored it, I took the opportunity to explore the old harbour. I was pleased to see how nicely they restored the old harbour tracks. The site operated until 2001 when it closed to passengers. It was one of the four railway stations in the town. The site officially closed in 2014, and it remained abandoned until 2015. It took three years to complete the restoration, after which it reopened to the public. The site is now used for events, markets, and much more.

While we were in the area, I received a tip about an abandoned primary school. Since I had some time to spare, we decided to check it out. It was shocking to see how dilapidated the school was and how much equipment and furniture were left behind, considering it closed down in 2018. Although it was in a state it was still cool to explore.

**History:**
The history of this old preschool is a bit unclear, but it apparently closed down in 2018 when a new site opened down the road.
