6/07 Maidstone – was taken to this bleak and abandoned industrial estate by Mel who did work experience with me earlier in the year – admired her tenacity at dragging a projector, battery and tent from the station out to this very lonely place – where she made work for her degree show.
Not quite so brave myself but intrigued by the miles of concrete roadways and side roads almost like a series of short runways – perhaps it was somewhere to park vehicles ready for something.
The site seems quite remote, with a large sewerage work one side, fields and woodland on another side and an impenetrable wilderness seperating this site and the nearest human activity – functioning factoris about a mile away.
Nearby Abbey established in 12 th C. nearby and still functioning adds a human scale to a really strange place.
