There is one near Broadstairs in East Kent on Rumfields Road. And another in Herne Bay at Mickleburgh Hill which is mushroom shaped.

Ahh well it’s not going anywhere mate, if it’s still open when you’re down here next, it wouldn’t be a half bad spot for a rooftop BBQ

That was good. Couldn`t do it myself as a stepladder has me panicking let alone that lot.

Been in there a few times. One of the aerials on the roof was used by the Canterbury radio station CTFM (now KMFM) which moved sometime around 2005 to the BT Tower at Rough Common

Ahh interesting mate, I think the old dunkirk radar tower might be worth a look thinking on it

Not too sure mate, I’d assume the council

I live in Canterbury and have done for many years. I have often seen the water tower and have been intrigued but only recently read that I could get in! Love decent pics and i am looking forward to joining the urban exploration scene. Plan on doing this one next week as I did the crab and winkle today. Dunkirk battery very soon!

 

[Airfix]

Not sure if it is still accessible now as this report was from last year.

Still, worth a try though right? If I don’t give it a go, I definitely won’t get in.
