HMS Royal Arthur Corsham November 2012

[Flava]

HMS Royal Arthur (shore establishment) was one of several assessment camps where new recruits were assessed, kitted out and sent to their various depots. In 1993 the gates were locked for good and the site was left to rot. Since the site was abandoned it has suffered heavy vandalism, being stripped by Gypsies, and excessive fly tipping. But the site is generally avoided due to the roof sheets containing Asbestos, the presence of Chavs and Gypsies, and open manhole covers. Their have been plans to turn it into a retirement home, or to demolish the site completely. However neither of these ideas have ever gone through.
