What started out as a search for a mysterious hole in amongst shrubs of the moat in Fort Amherst sighted by fellow 28DL member Charlie Tango (while nursing a fractured shoulder), resulted in finding at least 1 small building hidden in the undergrowth... After jumping up the wall and roaming...

Lydden spout battery was a manmade structure built along the white cliffs of Dover during World War 2. The tunnels underneath formed part of a plotting room and is accessible via an opening in the cliff face. This visit and picutres was back in 2016, but as of July 2020 the site is still...

The Crown and Horseshoes was a pub in Langley, Maidstone, Kent, United Kingdom, it closed down around 2014-2015. The building stood abandoned for a while and was turned into a Cannabis factory - these pictures were taken a few days after the police raids. A new pub, The Potting Shed opened in...

Explored With @TheFerret and @Urbex_fox History: Opened in 1902, and known originally as Canterbury Borough Lunatic Asylum, the hospital was first built to accommodate 250 patients, a much smaller amount than other Asylums nearby. During the first world war, West Sussex County Asylum saw a...

History: Brett Aggregates was first established in 1909 by Robert Brett. Since it's opening 111 years ago, the company has gone on to operate 25 aggregates sites in the South-East, including Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Surrey, East Sussex, and parts of south and east London. It also operates two...

So, I have been doing a bit of exploring for many years, going back to about 1997. But have never really shared any of it, so thought I'd start. Summer last year (2019) I decided to visit the Isle of Grain in Kent having heard about Grain Fort, which was built in the 1860's to protect the River...

Visited with @obscurity and @TheFerret, cheers for another cracking day! :thumb History : Golgotha tunnel in Shepherdswell, Kent, first became operational in 1912 and made up a section of the East Kent Light Railway which was established just one year earlier to serve the Kent Coalfields. The...

The connecting ditch to the eastern outwork runs approximately south east from the eastern gorge of Fort Burgoyne (formerly known as Castle Hill Fort). A small two gun battery overlooked it. This battery is also a parallelogram with its longer sides running to the south. The central parade is...

"There's a camera up there, wonder if it's live?... oh yep! it just swivelled around towards us!" ... That soon sent us running. The CEMEX Floor Cement Plant in Halling, Rochester, was once one of the largest concrete production firms in Kent, creating a variety of concrete floors, bricks...

A location that's been somewhat done to death, but hey ho, here's yet ANOTHER report on it, enjoy! After a considerably tiresome day in Dover, myself and @TheFerret decided to make one last pit stop at what was once our favourite photography spot...good old Langdon Hole ;)) So, we made our way...

So i wanted to create a new post instead of updating the old one so all of you get to see its glory ;) There are now 3 buildings left on the site and i have gotten into all of them, there are two attached to each other, one is a smaller loading bay which is a pain to access (this includes...

After scaling Littlebrook's chimney three times over the summer with several mates, and snapping roughly 70 odd shots, I've finally decided to post a few of them... After dealing with the copious amounts of dust, pigeon shite, grease and god knows what else on the chimney's 800 step staircase...

History: St Matthew’s was a voluntary controlled Church of England school, and therefore part of the land, and all of the permanent buildings are owned by the dia-sus. The Church of England’s Director of Education had given an undertaking to the Council that the proceeds from sale of the school...

June 2019 I know this has been done many times over the years but it's my first "proper" explore (as in planned) and I was excited to see it, so just in case there are any newbies (like me!) reading or just if anyone's interested to see what the condition of the place is like now, here's a post...

Another one from January I didn't get around to posting. Another one that's been done a lot too, but I've wanted to visit this one for a long time, but never been in the area at the right time for the tides to allow a safe visit. Not long after my birthday I was visiting friends who agreed to...

This place seems to have been done a lot recently but hey, this has been on my list to visit for /ages/ so myself and my two exploring buddies piled in to the car and off we went. Here's some history on the place: The Kent & East Sussex Railway opened in 1900 as England’s first ‘light railway’...

Been a while since I posted anything, life got busy and I got sick (again) which put exploring on the backburner for a bit. Anyhow a couple of weeks ago I paid another visit to the lovely county of Kent and after a bit of general mooching, off I went to check out another shelter (can you tell...

So my family and I decided to take a last minute trip down to Matthews Equestrian Centre late last night and wow what a waste off a massive place, although the structure is still there after it had been burnt down the place is a total mess. History Matthews Equestrian centre in gillingham...

Me and a friend have spent a good portion of this year trying to find a way into the fabled tunnels underneath Chatham Hill. We know that they exist due to a hole that we found in the chalk wall near the billboard going up Chatham Hill, however on closer inspection the hole has been back filled...

I've been wanting to go to this place for sometime now. I love photography and abandoned buildings and this place just looked incredible. I had briefly been up to the site on my way to Tonbridge Wells in mid August to scout the place out and look out for things like security and how to get in. I...
