RAF Hospital Nocton Hall opened in June 1947 with 740 bed’s serving predominantly RAF personnel. It was used by forces personnel, their families and local civilians until it closed on 31 March 1983. In 1984 it was leased as a wartime contingency hospital to the USAF and then on 30 September 1995 the hospital was handed back to Her Majesty’s Government and was never used again. It is a massive sight and although there is hardly anything left to say it was a hospital the buildings are still very photogenic and has some beautiful corridors and lots of lovely decay .
