I lived near the junction of Sir Evelyn Rd and Maidstone Rd for years and spent a lot of time with Borstal warders kids over the years. I never knew that was there either so it must have been inside the walls.

Hmm, about ¼ mile away as the crow flies and I didn't know it was there!


You must be near my old stamping ground. I lived corner of Tideway and Maidstone Road a lifetime ago.

Lived less than 200 yards from this complex from the 60s to 80s. The site of the original Borstal.

You could probably hear the muted roar of traffic from here.

Neither CAT.  Probably has educational aspects though.

Well from a quick trip to Wikipedia that looks like a hockey pitch top right.


Looks like a cross between field hockey and 5 a side football MartinR.  Multi-purpose perhaps.
