HMP Aldington (disused)
Image: © Ben Clifton Taken: 15 Jul 2006
A disused prison in Aldington, near Ashford, abandoned by the HM Prison Service in 1999. Plans have been put forward to turn it into a detention centre for asylum seekers, but these were met with fierce opposition from local residents. Plans have now be revised, and the centre is due to be developed into housing.
