Nocton Hall and Hospital. Juy 11.

Nocton Hall is a historic listed building in the village of Nocton, in Lincolnshire, England. Originally constructed for the Ellys family, it burnt down in 1834 and was rebuilt in 1841 for the first Earl of Ripon, who lived at the steward's house in Nocton while the house was being built. The US Army's 7th General Hospital was based at Nocton Hall during World War Two.http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/...DSCF9095-1.jpg

Ok here we are now in the 7th American Army Air force hospital behind the hall proper. It was a 740 bed military hospital built in a rather severe style yet not without a certain character of it's own. Lods of rubber strewn across the floor here, luckily no fetishists in sight!!. On closer inspection these appeared to be spent hospital gowns.

Colour coded walkway to nowhere. Trashed and fooked, this place was a true ruin if ever there was one.

Thanks Bob. It's a good mooch indeed.

Thanks SH , The place was fooked but for some reason still had quite an atmosphere. I think we may return in the winter when the leaves are gone.
