An ill-fitting memorial - Manadon, Plymouth
Once standing proud above the portals of HMS Thunderer, the Royal Naval Engineering College,the turret stands beside the road, clad in plywood. Although initially planned as early as 1937 the foundation stone of the completed establishment was not laid until 1956. The building, of Portland stone, though of monoblock appearance lent a certain presence to the landscape of the area. With the decline of the Royal Navy in terms of manpower needs it went the way of all such institutions and training of naval engineering officers was transferred to Southampton University.
I hope there are plans to mount the turret on a more appealing base - perhaps of Portland stone, though I fear it is destined for another scrapyard.
