The former Met Weather Station is situated on Ormesby road in Hemsby it closed down around 2001; it supplied weather data for the M.E.T Office, and the shipping forecasts.Not able to find much more info on the place.
Whilst passing the site thought id take a closer look tbh its in a sad state and deteriorated very quickly since its shut.
On with the pics

The tower in the corner of the site was used for wind measuring apparently.
