So a little history first I guess.
Priddy's Hard is an area of Gosport, in Hampshire, England most has been developed for housing with part of the site retained as a museum. However, for some two hundred years it was a restricted-access site; first becoming a fort and then an armaments depot for Royal Navy and British Army weapons, explosives and other stores.
I used to mess about in here when I was younger around 15 years ago and when I was a lad we would look through the fence (on our way out to rat island) and imagine getting in but we were worried about security as it was still MOD then. Since then kids got in during the development works and set fire to a load of buildings and scrub which lead to the demolition of much of the site.
There are still a few buildings remaining but not a lot left really.
Entry was made after a full walk of the entire fence line and once in we went just followed the roads and steps trying to keep away from the edges where you can be clearly seen by dog walkers and houses/flats that look over the site.
Near to the end a dog walker spotted us as we wanted to go over the bridge but he was not fussed and carried on his way.
Pics:
This piece of road is outside of the main fence
So are these blast walls. They used to have buildings between them last time I came 15 years ago
Now we are inside the fence
The raised roads
Pads where buildings once stood
Raised path
