kingsnorth

I visited the Coal Cranes back in 2021 for a short explore. Roll forward to Summer 2025, a revisit was on the cards with 2 friends. We decided this time that we would camp here in tents beneath the cranes, have some dinner, a few drinks and explore the cranes at dusk, night, dawn and day...

The Kingsnorth power station was a 2000MW dual fired station situated in the River Medway estuary. This was an ideal location as it allowed coal to be brought in by sea. Another Location I was shown by @Exploring With Pride 🌈 whilst down in Kent, making good use of his boat on a gorgeous day...

Way back in 2021, I ventured to Fort Hoo in the River Medway via an inflatable canoe as detailed in my report below. It was an incredibly photogenic place, although the adventure became more memorable for missing the high tide by a matter of half an hour and having to wait until dark to return...

Back in November; Myself and 5 others including @Dragon_Urbex, stayed the night at St Martins Hospital in Canterbury, with food, drinks and air beds on a ward. It was extremely cold; even in a sleeping bag, and my airbed sprung a leak, which I managed to fix with some gaffer tape which was...

Really good interesting pics of kingsnorth as someone who lives close by Many thanks Roy

So, this is a location I've wanted to do for quite some time now, but never got round to actually managing to do it. That was until November 2021. History: Kingsnorth Power Station was a 2,000 megawatt dual-fired coal and oil power station, situated north of Rochester on the Hoo Peninsula. The...

History: Kingsnorth Coal Loading Jetty in the River Medway, although officially named Oakham Ness Jetty, was built in 1964, as part of the construction for Kingsnorth Power station, which was to become operational 9 years later in 1973. The jetty itself was built 1.2 miles out into the estuary...

I never made it to Kingsnorth before demolition started, sadly. @SpiderMonkey and I did manage to visit before the control was demolished, however. As a bonus, we got to see the gas turbines and the coal plant control room too. But no turbs. Not much of the power station remained What we...

Kingsnorth Powerstation Built on the site of the former World War I airship base RNAS Kingsnorth, Kingsnorth power station was constructed between 1963 and 1973 by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) From 1975 to the early 1980's, Kingsnorth was linked to the London power grid...

This concrete bastard became a bit of a nemesis for Kn0xy & I, neither of us feeling we had quite finished this place until we'd seen the top of the chimney. At 650 ft, this is the 5th largest structure in Kent, not too shabby. We returned, with our sole objective being to finally put this...

Well, one of the best things i think ive seen from down our way for long time, and in being doubtful it could be done, i passed up on the invite for the first trip in exchange for seeing Mrs.Frosty, DOH!! Fair play to Knox and maniac for cracking this, there were plenty of heart in mouth...

I know it's an overused phrase, but this place really was EPIC. It had everything you want from an explore, sneaking around to get in, dodging CCTV security guards and ridiculous fences. Industrial porn on an epic scale, retro control rooms, working automatic doors it really was immense...

This had been on the cards for a little while and eventually got round to looking into it in December. Other then Battersea Id never done a power station before and Kingsnorth definitely didn’t disappoint. Having shut down less then a year ago its pretty much in mint condition and when we...
