History:
This place needs no introduction really...Nocton Hall Hospital was a 740-bed serving RAF personnel based at the large number of RAF Stations in the area. The facility opened for medical use in June 1947 and was situated in the grounds of Nocton Hall which was used to provide accommodation for female officers.The hospital was used by forces personnel, their families and local civilians until it closed as an RAF facility on 31 March 1983.
In 1984 it was leased to the USAF for use as a wartime contingency hospital. During the Gulf War over 1,300 US medical staff were sent to the hall although only 35 casualties had to be treated. In its later days 13 American personnel remained to keep the hospital serviceable. The USAF handed back RAF Nocton Hall to the UK Government on 30 September 1995.
The Explore:
I’ve been here on two separate explores with the the other half of the funky muffin crew and on both occasions we’d been busted by what we call the hillbilly family. Both times we wandered around for hours unchallenged but on the last occasion we were sealed in Nocton Hall by the angry woman. We stood there and got a talking to like we were a couple of toddlers until her husband was kind enough to rescue us. Much to our disbelief he walked us right through the centre of the hall chatting to us all the way. It’s an incredible place to explore. The buildings themselves are so noisy, banging and creaking like they are alive. My friend had a sweet thrown at her ankle from out of nowhere while we were traveling down a deserted hallway. I saw something unexplained run past the window only to disappear through a wall, we‘ve heard screams and doors slamming where there are no doors. It’s easy to get a bit disoriented in there. One of my favourite explores.
Thanks for looking

. What long halls, imagine walking them every day over and over again.
