After Alias's mentioning of this place the other day, I headed down here with blitz to check it out. Absolutely huge fenced-in site, but only a fraction is built on. Despite there being no security, the place is still visited from time to time by maintainance guys - a neatly cut hole in the fence has been solidly patched and welded, and all the razor wire on top of the fencing is pretty much brand new. Due to this, access to the site has changed since previous visits by other 28DL members, so if you want to know the latest access point, just PM me.
Anyway, onto the pictures...

Inside the one of the prison workshops...

A corridor inside one of the holding buildings...

Another long corridor, complete with heavy duty metal gates...

Random doors in the reception area...

Magazines in one of the offices. The male staff obviously had plenty of time on their hands...

Inside the perimeter fence - note shiny new razor-wire...

A building with the corner demolished. No vehicles can get on site, so how it happened is anyone's guess...

Switches and valves inside the boiler room...

Inside the sports hall...
http://82.34.82.28/UK%20Exploration/HMP%20Aldington/CRW_1472.jpg
And entrance to the gym, now devoid of all weights and machines...
http://82.34.82.28/UK%20Exploration/HMP%20Aldington/CRW_1479.jpg
The massive front gates, solidly chained shut...
http://82.34.82.28/UK%20Exploration/HMP%20Aldington/CRW_1494.jpg
Had a fun couple of hours looking around, even if the local chavs did get there before us and wreck the place.
A quick point to note - pretty much every room in every building has broken glass all over the floor - and I mean all over! So wear sturdy boots, try not to trip over, and don't expect to stealthily move around the site without making noise!
