History

RAF Hospital Nocton Hall was a 740-bed RAF hospital serving the predominantly RAF personnel based at the large number of RAF Stations in the area. Officially designated as No. 1 RAF Hospital Nocton Hall it opened in June 1947. It was used by forces personnel, their families and local civilians until it closed on 31 March 1983.

The hospital was situated the small village of Nocton in rural Lincolnshire and partly in the grounds of Nocton Hall. The Hall was used as the Officers' Mess. The main part of the hospital consisted of long corridors with wooden hut wards and departments branching off them. The hospital was on a slight slope so the corridors were not level.

Explore

Visited with Hamtagger having visited a few other places in the area we decided to pay Nocton a little visit. I hadn't been before but it is one of HT's favourite places so he dragged me, literally. Haha!

Probably one of the easiest explores I have ever had. In, pictures taken, leisurely explore, no one around and gone again without a trace of us even being there. The place is pretty well documented and knowingly trashed but those corridors do make awesome pictures. The level of decay gets better every time I have seen it. Some nice little areas around too, quite a lot of the buildings have a lot to offer in terms of peely porn and corridors, I enjoyed it anyhoo.

Thanks for looking

Thanks mate, not much in terms of urbex glamour but the decay says it all and that does it for me
