It was also the place where I got stopped for speeding for the first time - 60mph in a 30 zone at midnight - in a 1560cc Ford Anglia
The Bobbies were sat in the Stadium carpark with no lights on their car - I didn't see it until it was too late

Bummer! You should have got a telling off back then rather than a ticket, I know I did on a couple of occasions

Making the most of the mild December weather, Deb and I went for a stroll around RAF Sculthorpe yesterday, it has been thoroughly destroyed by metal thieves and vandals since its closure, a pity really considering its history, the runway and control tower are still on the 'Live' part of the site, we didn't venture into this bit (This time)

Love this thread Andy, I'm quite into this myself. Didn't realise you could get into Sculthorpe now.
What about west raynham?
One of the downsides of Norfolk living is other than military stuff there isn't much industrial stuff to explore no mines and only one short railway tunnel.
I have a key that fits ROC posts but once you have seen a few you have seen them all

West Raynham is a drive on Russ! We have a picture of one of our cars next to a hangar there.

As you know, railway journeys are quite good an uncovering exploring sites as a lot of abandoned stuff can be found next to a railway line.

West raynham may be worth a visit.
The isn't much abandoned stuff next to the railway in Norfolk but there is an abandoned paper mill near Ipswich. You mentioned Sleaford maltings shame you can't get into that, I've often wondered when passing them

Sleaford is doable, just involves a little climbing!

[Russp]

I do wonder how safe the flooring is on some of the bridges, as that place has been more or less abandoned for over 50 years quite amazing its still there

Have you done the donnington on bain tunnels? I did the south one years ago

Was there at the industrial park on xmas eve, the ruins of Creake abbey are close as is Bircham Newton and Docking but unsure of how much remains of RAF Docking,

Marvellous pics once again Andy, so much history in those buildings.

Great place for a rock video.
