About the Site St Augustine’s Hospital (1875–1993) was a psychiatric hospital in Chartham, Kent. It was founded as the second, or East, Kent County Asylum in 1872. In 1948 the hospital became part of the National Health Service and was renamed St Augustine's Hospital. St Augustine's Hospital...

This place has been "on the list" for a while, so I'm pleased that myself and Obscurity have finally got round to doing it after 2 failed attempts earlier in the year - it didn't disappoint! There's quite a bit of history to this place, so here goes. (shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia) It's...

Benenden Hospital was founded in 1907 as a sanatorium for Post Office employees and developed into the (subscription paying) hospital of the Civil Service & Post Office staff. The name of the organisation is now the Benenden Healthcare Society though the principles of the organiation are as...

This is one pretty local to me and after an afternoon out with Wevsky and Justin we had been talking about how trashed the place had become. Recent photos show rooms full of graffiti and loads of the interesting bits now gone or smashed up. A recent report on the Hospital by 2wid showed off the...

We started our trip into the unknown, Right at the back where ivy had grown Moving on through room after room, Although rather clean we’d gave up pretty soon, But carrying on bits looked pretty neat, Now we enter the Goths retreat, See the oak stairs glow in the light, Get out...

Richborough Power Station was built in the late 50's and from 1962 - 1971 Richborough burned over 3 million tonnes of coal, most of which came from the nearby kent coalfields. Then in 1971 the station was converted to run on oil, but usage of the site became costly as the price of oil prices...

Ok I have visited this place various times now but never got round to posting it up. Others I have visited with have posted it in various places. The condition of the plane has gone down hill each time I have returned which is a real shame. There is a small amount of history if you hunt around...

There is not a huge amount of history on this place although it has sat disused now for approx. 6 years after finally losing its doors in 2005. The labs were used for soil sciences and there is still much to see.

This all started with a text message from Obscurity/Desertion on Thursday about a new explore we'd recced a couple of weeks before. So at midnight on Friday night, Obscurity, Frosty and Fat James roll up at my house and before we know it it's 2:30am. I'm still not sure who suggested it first...

Right this was a spur of the moment find as the place we where heading out to just wasnt do-able,its a chapel from a closed down and well demolished college ,i assume the chapel is still there because its listed!well i assume!the college is long gone and rebuilt on i cant find any info on the...

Found it difficult to find a lot of history on this place. The labs were involved with Soil sciences and research I believe, as there's lots of samples etc. in some of the labs. very hard to work out precisely when it closed, but I think previous reports say around 2005, although areas of it are...

Hi all this was my first explore on my second visit to this place, It kind of held a special sort of fascination for me as I spent many a happy weekend with my Grandmother who lived just up the road from here when I was a child and then much later on in my early teens racing motorcycles up and...

Visited with Frosty, Shadow, Muffie and Vanishing Days, Mid Kent College Horsted Campus was originally built to be a government training center, it was left for nearly two years until it was actually opened as the Medway College of Technology. The campus originally opened with these original...

I have looked at a set of doors in a wall, in a car park, near my brothers flat. Every time I saw them I could not help bus wonder what lays behind. Well now I know,thanks to the fact my brother went to his car one morning and found the open door above. So in he went camera phone in hand and...

This site is in amazing condition and although this was a tour, the lady showing us around was more than happy for us to take some time to take photos. Most of the smaller items have been removed to a ROC museum, alot of the larger items such as generators remain. The generators apparently...

Very little is known about this place. It is located in Kent and is on three levels. After seeing this place a couple of years back it has always been one of those…ill do it another day explores. Finally along with fortknox0 we managed to get in to have a look. This place was a lot larger...

After seeing the posts on here of the other ROC Posts and been a bit of a ROC Virgin I thought I would look into this a little bit more and try and visit a post for myself. This is the little bit of history I know on this particular post. “The post was originally closed in 1968 but was...

It's been a long time coming this, I've had my eye on this place for years (literally) just waiting for the right time to crack it. Well the time was right this weekend! After several recces of the site over the last few months, and a close study of the plans we were ready to give it a shot...

After hearing the news of the fire and seeing some pics I thought I would go and have a quick look myself. So with the strong smell of smoke hanging over the site I had a quick nose about before this site is demolished completely. Both I and Trench have visited this site before...
