so nice to be able to get out exploring again even if the weather was terrible. with @Chloe Explores
this place was just off the road in a big field and from the graffiti outside and the fact it was open you’d think the inside would also be covered but it was surprisingly minimal.
it was also a lot bigger inside than it looked outside and consisted of a large room with a bar, a smaller room with another bar and then lots of smaller rooms such as toilets and changing rooms.
was a relatively relaxed explore except for the constant drip of water and a door rattling around, we did start a hasty exit at one point after hearing footsteps but after looking around the nooks and crannies no one was to be found so we continued. it was so cold in there you could see your breath. there are cctv cameras outside but look so old we assumed no longer in use. although, after we got back to the car another car turned up and one passenger had hi-viz on. we didn’t hang around to see where they went.
History -
The venue had sport pitches and hosted a number of car enthusiast events as well as being a live music venue.
The license appears to have been revoked and reapplied for in 2010 after there had been a breach of the licensing objective relating to the prevention of crime and disorder as one of the attendees of the event was assaulted by the DJ and suffered a broken cheekbone. Also The licence holder did not have a copy of the premises licence and Un-licensed activity was conducted in that the provision of music and dance continued until approximately 4am.
It’s not quite clear when it actually closed though a newspaper report on the drug bust states it had been closed several months.
In 2013 Cannabis with a street value of half a million pounds was seized from the derelict venue. The discovery of about 800 plants was made by bailiffs who went there with a repossession order.
Police were called to the club which has been closed for several months, and the plants and equipment used for cultivation were taken away. The raid was one of the biggest of its kind ever in Medway.
Villagers were left stunned that the drugs factory had operated on such a large scale without suspicion.
