Me and man gone wrong had done a few weekends exploring in Kent. We had a few places lined up and the first one we were going to we did not bother with as I remembered this place from a long while back on the way down. So a quick change of mind we headed to see what the situation was. We were not sure if it was even still derelict as not seen any recent pics from it. We soon found a way in and it was nice and easy relaxed explore, going back about seven years this place was mint with all the equipment in. Sadly its stripped now and the yobs have got to it. On the plus side it has decayed nicely and a lot of it there was, and some really nice features. I really enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would and we spent a fair while there., It got quite popular for a few months after posting iy. There was two chapels and the remains of a morgue. One chapel was quite modern and I was to hot too climb through the hole. The second and third floors in the main hospital were identical. I liked the ground floor were the x ray rooms were. The children's ones had murals on the wall and brightly coloured changing rooms..The royal was opened in 1848 as the Folkstone dispensary. Later on it was known as dispensary and infirmary. Then it was the royal and finally the royal Victoria till it closed in 2009. There is still a smaller section of the hospital still in use.

And if I remember rightly you had gone here from something else without much sleep.

28dl mini meet in Bristol on the Saturday evening after a day exploring, got home at about 1am to grab the rest of my camera gear and went straight out the door to Kent, got inside at 4am and had a bit of a snooze on the floor somewhere...I was utterly fucked lol.

I thought it was something like that. I remember you messaging saying you you were fucked after the long day and night ha ha. It was not a bad explore though. Wonder if it's even still there.
