otobucket.com/albums/gg388/footballplayer2/SDC10531.jpg[/IMG] up! Hopefully I have got this right now. This is Hemsby Weather Station. Closed around five years ago apparently. Looks like the Chavs had a bloody barbecue inside. Anyway enjoy.

well I think I finally got the hang of the photobucket thing at long last! Hemsby weather station to be totally honest I do not know all that much about but I saw it from one of my companies work vans while we were out in the sticks and thought it looked well worth an explore. It's my first post so go easy on me people!

A shame it's so trashed and burnt. Some interesting bits left though, and the building itself is something I haven't seen before.
Cheers, norwich.

Hmsby weather station.

Thanks for that Foxy. Yah it was a bit burned but it was a fun explore. The strange tower was built to house wind speed direction and strength.

Very interesting, I've not seen inside a weather s tation before. It's a shame the idiots have had it on fire and been stripping out the place. I like it tho, you have some very nice shots there.

Cheers,

Sal

Yes it was certainly differet and I certainly had to watch where Iput my feet!. It is a crying shame that the station was so torn about yet it was in such a rural location.

fab little find, good shots too

 

[Black Shuck]

Yes it is a gem of a place in a very rural location. Just a pity it was ransacked by chav and pond life activity. Still well worth an explore. Look out for my next report very soon.

The mast is still there!!!! Is it climbable, do you think? I assume the anemometer was at the top. is it still there?

 

[Black Shuck]

Yeah the mast is still there but not having a head for heights I wimped out big style

Not sure what tower you mean ?

this one? was used to inflate the weather balloons with Hydrogen prior to their release

Went and visited this the day after the mast collapsed or was vandalised, did look funny! decided to go in after years and years of just driving past most days. the small tower at the back is still there, very easy to get up, although hardly worth climbing. as for the anemometer and solar powered light navigation light thingy, they were on the floor, got some pics somewhere of them. apparently the main use for the mast was something to do with the approach for the heliport in Gt Yarmouth, but it had some weather related things attached to it.

Edit; it's all but demolished now.

Yes I know Urban, its an absolute travesty, but the place had been chavved a lot.
