HMS Royal Arthur
Where? Corsham, Wiltshire. Comments 19. Posted 18 December 2008.
HMS Royal Arthur was one of the Royal Navy's shore establishments - similar to HMS Ganges but on a smaller scale. The site at Corsham opened in 1947 after moving from Skegness (the Butlins holiday camp was used during WW2). The Corsham site finally closed in 1993...
A few years ago there was "news" that the site would be converted into retirement homes - nothing seems to have happened with that plan though. Nowadays it sits empty, and seems to be a practice ground for Bristol/Bath's graffiti artists.
I didn't get many photos of the buildings, maybe I'll revisit in the future...
