Summary edit
| Description |
English: Britannia Royal Naval College from Hoodown Looking across the Dart from Kingswear Footpath 30. Below the college are houses on Sandquay Road. The college was built between 1899-1905. "Wrennian in style, Palladian in layout ... In 1863 the Admiralty stationed HMS Britannia in the Dart as a training ship for naval cadets. In 1865 she was joined by HMS Hindustan. By 1875 it was decided to build a land-based college, but the land was not acquired until 1896. Webb began work on the terraces for the main college in 1898 but, when 2 cadets died of influenza on Britannia, the sanatorium was built first. Edward VII laid the foundation stone of the college in 1902. The Hindustan was towed down to Plymouth in 1905 but the Britannia stayed until 1916." https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1208626 |
