At the north end at 15:20 the former chemical/pharma works used to be the Queenborough Pier and railway station constructed by Zeeland Lines and opened 1860. Custom House and warehouse were located on the T shaped pier and many pages online cover the early pier history. Freight service ceased in the mid 1950s. Maps in the 60s show track sidings removed and mostly disused land. Pier cottages on the north side demolished when redeveloped as chemical works. In 2021 articles noted interest in rebuilding the pier. From 2023 article DJ cited, appears the pier plans fell through and to be redeveloped as industrial. The large Aesica factory is constructed on former marsh land and still undeveloped after WW2. In the 1950s a causeway was constructed with drains on each side where the older long building is situated then angled to the left to a new slipway seen at 14:40 top left. The main factory building was constructed about mid 1960s. Queenborough Wall is a public footpath running along the river then through the CEVA Logistics site following the former mud flats. Awesome chats and great views of the area, mostly marsh in the '45 aerial photo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
What a lovely local couple, full of information and very friendly with it, not the usual "you are not from round 'ere are you?!" brigade. Sound security guy too, a little cagey but had a good sense of humour. All in all, another great video DJ.
4:27 It's quite important to keep security even for an empty building. I used to work for a company that has many warehouses. One of them had been empty for close to a year when I was put in a team that temporarily was operating from that warehouse. In the time it wasn't in use, people had come in and stripped most of the copper. CCTV wasn't working, smoke alarms didn't all work, some electrical systems were gone, shutters had to be operated manually, and some had been bolted shut since the break in, so it caused significant damage to the property.
What a lovely area full of lovely people. Good advert for the town! Makes a change from being in Gillingham where everyone’s opening gambit is “not allowed”.
What a lovely gentleman he was, a breath of fresh air to see someone so chilled out, Hats off to you sir ;-) He liked the Kermit permit too 😂👍 DJA you hit the jackpot there with those two wonderful local people who worked at that plant, you just can't beat local knowledge ;-)
Sercurity man good old Black Country lad from my neck of the woods good down to earth folk couple at the end nice Friendly couple thanks for the info 😊 Good video DJ thank you
Recipharm bought quite a few sites belonging to Aesica including a large one in Holmes Chapel Cheshire and Cramlington in the North East. They also closed an old site near Oldham. I installed software in all of them.
DJ you're awesome, seen every video you've posted, enjoy them all, hate seeing you have to get physical especially with the numpty getting too close to the drone, keep doing what you're doing! Love that you have an answer for everything. AB was my favourite, you've taken the spot with Kermit 🤣
i love your videos mate, i unsubscribed from DJE MEDIA because when he was asked his name he said DJ, there is only ONE DJ as we all know. keep up the good work matey
Great security man, one of the best yet, lovely people with lots of experience and information. I would not want a house built on that site as by the look of those gates there is a serious flooding risk.
Whenever I see a site like this. I automatically think of the TV Show *"The Walking Dead"* Thinking it would be a great place to secure and hide up in. ha ha ha
He took the Kermit the permit gag well. 😂
You are beautiful
Us blokes Love it when someone can take the gag
I liked that guy. Fair play to him
The older couple were awesome! ❤
Lovely couple at the end. Its nice when you have this sort of engagement.
That lady is a font of knowledge and sharp!
I like that you only carry a small bag and almost half of the carry capacity is allocated for a stuffed Kermit toy!
🤣🤣🤣
Lovely couple and very informative.
🐸
Agreed, and as they were leaving we heard those rare words: Thanks for the keyring! 👍
K E R M I T - DJ has just owned the internet for a day
Good natured & friendly, all the way! Everyone here has emerged with 'real credit'!!😊😊
Great security guy… that’s how to deal with people….
What a nice guy and a lovely couple
Permit the Kermit is back 😁 yayyy 👏😊
This chap was quality. He seems old school to me too. Top fella to him. Kudos
Good to see that security was sound, he did enjoy the kermit gag. Probably will tell a few friends, and then realise how famous he will be on TH-cam.

Nice video as always DJ, good security guy and the lady was lovely and informative with what she had heard.
DJ struck GOLD bumping into the guys that know the site so well!

The locals were exceptional.
Bang on guy down to earth
A kermit 😂 love it
As soon as I saw Kermit in the thumbnail, I knew the video was going to be good 👍 😂
The kermit I honestly can't breathe 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Love how he reacted to Kermit 😆 Imagine getting hold of small cheap Kermits,to give everyone asking for Permit
security is a black country guy i recognise the accent he done a good job behaved well and was polite
lovely couple
Genuine friendly and understanding guy with a sense of humour.
Is it me or did that guy just want to argue everything you said?? Good to see Kermit though 😁😁👍👍 thanks DJ and thanks Kermit🤣🤣🤣
Probably had a few beers and was bored and needed someone to chat to....DJ was his perfect match😂
I thought so too.
I wasn't sure if he was extremely unknowledgeable or if he was just being a bit of an ar5ehole.
Lol always love the kermit one lol 😂😂😂😂
What a lovely area full of lovely people. Good advert for the town! Makes a change from being in Gillingham where everyone’s opening gambit is “not allowed”.
Seems a good, normal chap at the start. Level headed, legitimately curious instead of power tripping. 'With my lack of teeth'. 😂
Well done all.
Is that Kermit the permit 🤣
Indeed, He has a Kermit to fly his drone.
Good one DJ security man really good well done young man, the couple at the end 🌟 of the show thank you for the information.
I love it.. dj: I'll ask a member of the public
2 members of the public walk by and just so happens to know a good bit about the place... perfect...
If they've kermitted a crime 😂
😅😅😅
You came across a good old black country boy on his jollies.
Loving the kermit, can't wait for a fozzie bear....
What a lovely gentleman he was, a breath of fresh air to see someone so chilled out, Hats off to you sir ;-)
He liked the Kermit permit too 😂👍
DJA you hit the jackpot there with those two wonderful local people who worked at that plant, you just can't beat local knowledge ;-)
What a lovely informative couple.
Sercurity man good old Black Country lad from my neck of the woods good down to earth folk couple at the end nice Friendly couple thanks for the info 😊

Great video DJ I used to collect tablets out of there they were a pain in backside 😜
“All seems a bit odd”, DJ: “Thank you” 😂😂
Decent video that pal, lovely to see old Kermit back again
Very very very interesting ❤
Recipharm bought quite a few sites belonging to Aesica including a large one in Holmes Chapel Cheshire and Cramlington in the North East. They also closed an old site near Oldham. I installed software in all of them.
Professional Security 👌 he even understood the Kermit Joke .. Good Job 👍🏻
He was polite but not helpful as he's only security. Helpful passer by. Great information xx
The 2 lovely people at the end made the video. Great video DJ🎉
I love our small little island, we're so laid back 😂
Good post DJ, love that bloke and good to see Kermit!
Great stuff - not seen Kermit come out for ages
Youve got a kermit to fly it and miss piggy is laughing.
I like these nice 1s now and again. Dj tried a little press on security bit he did very well. And the locals were lovely
Security was friendly enough and had a sense of humour should have given him a keyring
I did 👍
I love to see the Kermit or the dummy coming out 😂
Love it 🐸🐸🐸
Kind couple, very respectful and responsive,we need more,got my respect, nice 1 dj
Nice couple at the end talking about the history of the place
Lovely local couple with lots of historical knowledge
Brilliant today. All of it 👌🏴
You won him over the moment Kermit come out , hahaha yeah sounds like me 🐸
What a nice couple, a mine of information!
I like that security guy, he's awesome, thanks DJ for giving us videos, brilliant of you sir
Lovely people around a lovely area 👏👏
Very nice guy and a pleasure to see Kermit the permit make an appearance!
Wow that place is huge, the flooding there will be amazing in a few years 🫤😉.
Great to see a vid of friendly people being happy 👍❤️🇬🇧
Genuine chap - such a delight particularly his reaction to Kermit!
Lovely couple, if the queen went there, it must have been very important to the community- sounds like many people have lost their job over the years.
DJ you're awesome, seen every video you've posted, enjoy them all, hate seeing you have to get physical especially with the numpty getting too close to the drone, keep doing what you're doing! Love that you have an answer for everything. AB was my favourite, you've taken the spot with Kermit 🤣
Kermit making a comeback . A rare sighting . 😊
When the cops get involved he should produce a miss piggy to accompany Kermit!
Fucking hilarious
Those 2 lovely people really made that for me, enjoyed that so much ❤
Great security guard, handled it very well 👌🏻
Cautious as she should be but friendly and professional
This guy can't cope with DJ 😂😂😂
Great video as always ❤
Top bloke.
Great security dude. If only they were all that good at their job and as chill a guy.

Love a friendly local, well done you two!
Great video 👍
Great interaction 👍 great video 👏
Kermit 😂😂 Brilliant! Big up the local couple…lovely people 👍🏼
Nice to see a great guy for once top man 👌
That couple seems to know what's what! I could listen to them talk all day. They need their own TH-cam channel! I would subscribe.
Just been to find the keyring and it was already gone! I need a keyring!!
Yo kermit the permit!...lol......Good to see he's back! 😂
You got all the props 🐸😂
Reggie has a few more 😊
“You could do your research before you arrive” DJ: “No,that’s not how I operate” 😂😂 OMG that’s cracked me up 👍⭐️
Doesn't seem like a bad guy,Kermit made him laugh! Nice couple aswell!

Kermit... Brilliant!! 😂🤣

Gutted on holiday in Kent watch you everyday and our car in garage 😅
Kermit was so funny laughed my head off 🤣🤣👏👏👍
Well, I'm surprised he didn't frog march you off! 😂
Good audit video dj well good to see kermit being let out the bag lol
I worked there as a contractor a few years ago. Didn't realise it had closed down.
I think it's the former Abbott Laboratories site before aesica. If so my uncle spent his whole working life there and my cousin lost her job there too
Whenever I see a site like this. I automatically think of the TV Show *"The Walking Dead"* Thinking it would be a great place to secure and hide up in. ha ha ha
loved the kermit !!!! awesome DJ
Come on DJ he was a genuine nice guy, you could have cut him some slack. Not everyone wants to argue with you.
Hahahaha, OH my goodness. Good thing you brought your Kermit.
