There are already some really good posts on this place for the history........ however now its seems its just as attractive for its elaborate graffiti as its attraction as a derelict site..... the following snippits are from the local Corsham paper
The derelict Royal Arthur site in Neston is still a “risk to the public” with “continued unauthorised access” taking place that is causing numerous issues in the local area. The issue has been reported to the Wiltshire Council where it the site was deemed as being a “nuisance” but do you agree?
The swimming pool in HMS Royal Arthur where a member of the public fell through during the winter time.
HMS Royal Arthur has not been in use for a number of years but past attempts to padlock it and prevent people entering have proved unsuccessful.
Padlocks have now been placed on the premises, but venturing into the abandoned site is “such an attractive thing for people.”
“It’s a wreck. It’s a health hazard and I’m so glad that the gates are locked,” commented Mrs Doohan further, “The best thing that could happen is that it could be developed into a care home. They have planning permission to do it but the financial implications now are different than they were a few years ago.”
There is still alot of asbestos around and it is unsafe .... however its nice to walk around and I think that some ( and i do only mean some ) of the graffiti is really great ( CONTROVERSIAL )...... I would be interested to hear any comments about what others think of graffiti.......... I loved some of the stuff at Hellingly..
