Some more from Hales Hospital/Heckingham Workhouse

Hales Hospital, Norfolk, August 2009

Greetz all!!!

My first report here so please go easy on me

My other half (hereinafter known as fruitbat11) and I have done a few explores locally, but this was the first real one and we were quite pleased with what we saw and found.

Plenty of history on other postings, but essentially, Hales Hospital started life as Heckingham Workhouse in the late 18th century and was later converted to a hospital. As far as I know at this stage, it's last usage as a hospital was for infirm elderly. It closed in 1995.

So here's some pics, hope you like them

(warning - pic heavy, apologies if this not good!!!):

Hi,

Good shoot - shame we were not able to meet up this time. The water tower is doable, you can even get right to the very top via an access ladder at the top of the stairwell...

Great place

Hello again mate! You certainly got the gift mate nice one! Its bloody spooky in there . I did it by my Jack Jones and it was VERY dark.
