maidstone

I love in the general area of Maidstone and I’m wondering if anyone knows any spots there, there are some posts about the area but none of them are recent. Also I could do with some tips since I’m just starting out. 😊

ABC Cinema, formerly known as Granada Theatre was a permanent fixture at the bottom of Lower Stone Street, in Maidstone, Kent. There are a few other reports of the same location, and I thought i'd post some of my own images well to add to the collection. The building itself is reasonably...

An old one here, the original explore was back in 2018, but from the outside it appears as if very little has changed. The Kent County Archive is exactly as the name implies, the archives for Kent County Council, that also served as the public library, and is a prominent feature next to the...

These images were taken about a year before the demolition of this location, it has since been turned into a small housing estate. This location was a Radar Tower used built by the US Air Force in Thurnham, Maidstone, United Kingdom.

Opening in 1963, not much of this Library is left now, the entire lower part has been demolished and the only remaining part is the tower which was nearer the middle of the site. I have attached a few photos from google to show the Library when it was open. 1965 This map is from 1868, the...

SUP This place was roughly an hour from us and mentioned to me by a fellow urbexer on instagram (go follow him @ epicsp101 and myself at @ cjxplores). It definitely was one to remember for the experience and the sights! I worked in VUE cinema for over a year so ticking off an abandoned cinema...

Just want to start off by thanking @monk for giving me some info on getting in. If you fancy a bit of background info on the place, swing by his report https://www.28dayslater.co.uk/maidstone-abc-cinema-17.t107835 The place is an absolute bitch to get into, especially if you want to not get...

Being more of a Facebook local groups kind of guy I thought it was finally time to join up to the forum and bang my first report up. I had known for a number of years that there was a ragstone mine in Mote park from little snippets of info from various history groups but it was just something I...

Been a while since this one's been on the scene, however it's still there, still derelict, still a cock to get into, but still pretty cool... and my photos are still shite ;) Tucked away behind a sign for 20 something years....

I thought now would be a good time to kick off 2015 with my first report of the year :thumb After countless trips around the UK to visit various mines and quarries, it begged the question as to what is located closer to home as there must have been mining activity around Kent. Throughout the...

Been holding off on this one while I attempted to seek out some much needed history, but regret to say I failed miserably so what little history there is has already been covered by Sx-Riffraff in his thread (http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=63509), I did however discover...

Short History 57 London Road (`Fairlawns') was requisitioned in 1939 as a new headquarters for No.1 Group, Royal Observer Corps - having previously been stationed in rooms above Maidstone Post Office. In use throughout WW2 until stand down, by the 1950s Fairlawns was relegated to being a...

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...

probably one of the weirdest places ive explored as the heating and electric still runs as its connected to the bingo hall next door thanks to abandoned uk for the tour visited with 12 gauge as well. loads of little bits still around didnt have my eos with me on this one so pics are a bit poor...
