Report - Hainford Hall, Norfolk. November 2021

[Ferox]

Had a look in here while we were down in Norfolk late last year. I lovely old place that must have been really nice when in use. As mentioned in other reports the house was requestioned during WW2 and it is thought the army used the rooms as offices. It has been abandoned since 1948. The structure of the building in parts is not good at all now. There was a steel cable running through the building at one end which I presume was there to try and hold the end wall up. The wall had massive cracks in it at places, but the cable seemed to be doing its job for now. Some cool features and architecture left inside, with some great arched doorways, nice fireplaces and a fine old bath. No vandalism of graffiti either which was a refreshing change. Visited with Paul.




















Thanks for Looking

Nice shots, well captured. I did like that place, someone bought it about three years ago from auction I believe and it's now being worked on. Shame as I never actually took the camera there. It was pretty stripped out but as you say it did have some nice features left which I didn't appreciate at the time.

Forgotten about this place. Pretty bare but enough to hold your interest. Decent report that.

Nicely done mate. I quite enjoyed my time here and it was much better than I expected. I remember going here for car parts when I first passed my test. Cars stacked on top of each other. You took your own spanners and such to take what parts you wanted.

A really nice place. Will take some work by whoever brought it though.

The added pics make it better now mate with the main reception room showing and the big arched door.

Thanks Mikey They did not upload at first for some reason. I have used a slightly bigger picture size this time so that might have had something to do with it.
