About this image
One of the class members here originated from Brimington, Derbyshire. Can anyone provide any identifications? HMS Royal Arthur was a shore establishment (a 'stone frigate') of the Royal Navy and existed at Ingoldmells from 1939 until 1946. It occupied the former Butlins holiday camp and served throughout World War Two as the central reception depot for new naval recruits.
