1. The History
Not too much info on these pretty extensive remains of the WWII decontamination hospital which includes a stand-by set house, main building and blast trenches. The site is situated behind Harlaxton manor's in its grounds. It became a satellite base to RAF Grantham, and from the late 1940s to 1991 also served as a Royal Observer Corps post. It now lies derelict and forgotten although it appears to have been recently discovered by Grantham’s graffiti massive.
2. The Explore
This place is a complete walk-on and I’ve been many times. However not done a report since 2015 and the weather was really cold and snowy so thought I’d take a peek. There was a lot more graff in the stand-by set house. It also looks like this place may not be around for much longer as a lot of the trees have been sprayed with yellow lines possibly indicating that they are set for the chop.
