Introduction
This is a local place that I went to a few times several years ago but me and @V50jake wanted to revisit with the camera as we both hadn’t been in a while.
Information & History
There really isn’t much history to find on this place, it doesn’t even appear on the Norfolk Heritage...
After many years of not exploring or posting on here, I have decided it is time to get my ass in gear and get out n about again
So here is my 1st trip out and post on here in a long time.
The explore
The morning was a gorgeous early morning explore with pummels of light breaking through the...
Westwick Village Hall
Whilst hunting for local places to visit, I came across an online forum that briefly mentioned that there may be a derelict village hall in a little place called Westwick. I've lived in Norfolk my entire life and had never heard of this place. It has a total inhabitance...
Gray's Yard, Norfolk.
Waking up early one cold Sunday morning, I was in the mood to go and have a solo mooch around a nice local place. Grey's yard jumped out at me as it's within half an hour, and I've been wanting to go for ages. No history on Gray's Yard, I don't believe it was an actual...
The Explore
Out for a walk with the wife and baby today, strolling from Hemsby to Winterton-on-Sea. As usual, on the lookout for odd buildings or pieces of concrete that look out of place. Sure enough on the return journey along the sand dunes, I made my excuses and took my leave, heading for...
The Chapel built by a Chec refugee.
During the war he fled across Europe and married an English woman. Living in Norfolk he built his own Chapel.
( info is what I've read online, hopefully correct).
Cute little Chapel
The History:
As usual there's already better rundowns online with more detail, but long story short this chapel was constructed by a man who first came to England as a refugee from Nazi Germany in the onset of WW2. He was born in 1918 in Czechoslovakia, moving through Poland, Romania, France...

Hello everyone!!
Firstly let me introduce myself! I’m Macorlee and I’m from Suffolk! I moved here in September 2020 from the Lake District and I’m overwhelmed by all the beauty in the abandoned buildings here! I’d also like to add how much I like and respect this website for the protection of...
RAF Sculthorpe is a decommissioned Ministry of Defence facility in north Norfolk. I went for an explore here today, a surreal site situated right within a housing estate entitled Wicken Green village. There were several signs saying no trespassing however, several people walking dogs so no...
So this was my first time exploring and I was super nervous about being caught on site. Luckily I saw nobody and no-one saw me. As you can see from my pics the building is tightly boarded and fenced, but it was still cool to be there. I've been to a few other places since this explore and will...
Thought I would share this as I cant seem to find many recent posts only old posts from 2008.
