Derelict Royal Navy Training Base

[@tugwilson2327]

i was an instructor there the last 3 years of her life, best place served, gr8 memories, sad pics on here!

[@stratshadow]

Have lived in Neston very close to Royal Arthur all my life. I worked for a building firm who had the term contract to maintain the place when I left school. It makes me sad to see it like that. It really was kept so well up together in days gone by. I remember the fantastic open days as a kid as well!....makes me feel old looking at this....

My late father C.R.S. Bill Cook RN, did some final training there before going to Ascension Island as part of Naval Party 1984, to set up a monitoring station for GCHQ.

I did my leadership course there in 1969. Remember the obstacle course, and collecting rum.

[@Grahampk73]

My dad was stationed here as a chief petty officer in the late 80's. I have good memories of the base, sad to see it in a mess.

[@simonfuller526]

spent a week there around 79/80 with my local sea cadets remember the assuilt course which was hard think the place was a trainning base fo petty officers

[@ianwauters1659]

My Father was there as a Petty Officer during the 50's what a terrible shame to see the place in that condition........

[@TheSecretVault]

You should go 150ft underground to the massive "city" scale buker there with 25 miles of tunnels. regards.

[@Jaktar1944]

I spent 4-6 weeks here in 1969 on a leadership course after qualifying for Petty Officer.

@Bentley240 I agree, I can't stand the mindless graffiti that appears almost everywhere nowadays. But there is some really good art here that took time & patience to complete.
