I did have a report up about this place. I had film photos from the 1980s when the abbey was derelict and the runnels were accessible and up to date photos of the tunnels today and the abbey itself. But its disappeared.
Even had new owner of the abbey contact me for more old photos and said he would send pics from inside the new restoration. But all got lost on the big changes the site undertook a few years ago.

This was my playground as a kid.

Only remember a friends brother being paralysed, car accident I think. Lived Greenhithe like myself, way back then.

No, that surname doesnt ring a bell. The Adrian I knew did move to Swanscombe, like myself after teenage years. But he had 2 brothers and a sister. So dont think its the same one. Probably did see him about though. Especially if he was a Swanscombe pub drinker back in the 90s

Yea you probably didnt know him as he only had 2 brothers and he barely used to drink and yea you probably saw him out and about
