The former Nocton Hall Hospital now stands empty, the site earmarked for a
new residential development. Given the current financial situation, I expect the hospital
to remain standing for a few years more. This, in my opinion, is an opportunity.
Whilst Nocton Hall Hospital is totally stripped the buildings themselves
have an interesting story to tell - one which I couldn’t begin to discern given our mere
hour at the site.
This hospital is worthy of further study as it’s a rare 20th century relic. Most of the RAF’s
hospital sites were demolished after the rationalisation of the 1980s. To find Nocton Hall Hospital
still standing is fortunate.

Imposing building found along the east-west road which divides the north and south
sections of the hospital. Probably a medical store.
