Glad that it was not just flattened and turned into more tacky housing. But so sad to see what was once a major gem and source of employment and great trades, in the Medway Towns has become along with what was HMS Pembroke. Thank you, Margaret Thatcher and John Knott, if I had my way your heads would still be on Traitors Gate!
Very interesting Jack. What is the music called that started at 5 minutes in? I'm sure it's what we marched on to the parade ground for divisions. I did my cooks training at HMS Pembroke in 1976, happy days. I went on my first ever ships visit during my training to HMS Bacchante My dad was based at Chatham in the 1950's.
