Our day started with a trip to Derby Royal Infirmary but was unfortunately cut a bit short by some dodgey characters so we went to finish off Nocton.
My partner in grime was hamtagger (He's got some awesome reports on here)
I've already been to Nocton Hall before but at the time I didn't know about the RAF Hospital that's close by. I think I've got a few shots here that haven't been covered in other reports. (I'm not 100% though)
This would be quite difficult to sit on with it having only two legs.
The famous Nocton Hospital Sex Options - We went Left
A peely cobweb door knob
The basement Fireplace with some night light from the window
One of the longest corridors I've ever had the pleasure of walking down.
The walkways that would once have connected the buildings.
This room was alot greener in person (It was called the Sterile Area)
The arrow to nowhere. It would be interesting to find out where this should have been pointing to.
The place is a mess and burned out quite badly but it still has charm in an odd way.
This might be the last set of keys at Nocton.
I've been told there used to be two of these
The end of the line
This is my favorite of all the shots I have taken so far.
Thanks for taking time to read my report. Thankyou to hamtagger for driving us there
and I'll hopefully have another report up soon!
