Nocton Hall - Lincolnshire - May 2014

[Matt Inked]

Today I went on my first explore to Nocton Hall. (I'm new to the whole photography thing so don't expect amazing shots)

Armed only with a cheap (£100) 16mp Panasonic Bridge Camera and a Samsung Galaxy S4 I set off on my Journey from Lincoln to Nocton (On a bmx as I don't drive) Google maps failed me and took me on a huge detour which made my 45 minute journey a 2 and a half hour "Nocton Hunt" Anyway, here's my report.

Nocton Hall May 2014 - Exterior

Final Destination

I was casually taking a picture of a smashed window and when I looked up this was above my head!

I became quite obsessed with the stair cases. Most have crumbled apart and the roof has caved in a bit more from what I've seen on other reports.

Sunlight through what once were windows

Boiler things

The place could do with a lick of paint too.

This toilet had the worst smell I have ever experienced in my life!

Pipes

There's always a piano (Or keyboard in this case)

More stairs and a window that would have shown the lifts back in the day

An old hospital curtain divider

Nocton Hall from the back as we were leaving

We had problems with my camera and both of our phones in one of the rooms, nothing would take pictures properly (Crashing or not working at all) as soon as we left the room they worked, has anyone else had this issue?

Thank you for taking time to read my report. I'm trying to cover as much as Lincolnshire as possible (That isn't too hard to travel to without a car) So I'm hoping to post more reports of some more awesome places. I enjoyed Nocton Hall and would definitely recommend it to people ho haven't yet been. I took 350 pictures here so choosing a few was quite hard.

Good to see you took my advice and joined up here mate, nice looking report there. The main hospital is worth a peep too if you're ever back there. It's my local photo-practicing ground

 

[Matt Inked]

I completely forgot about the main hospital. We were trying to keep quite because there were kids in a field near the back playing football so didn't want to draw too much attention to ourselves.

How many pictures are allowed per post on here? It was a shame to only put 10 as some of the best ones were missed out.
