Take a look around
our unit from the comfort of your home or office...
Thousands of Tameside youngsters have been trained
in this facility over the years since it was purpose
built in 1978, a few of the staff at the unit today
were either members of staff or cadets at the unit
back then.
Since 1978 the unit has had many paint jobs, two
years ago a purpose built accommodation block with
boys and girls dormitories, staff accommodation and
toilets/showers was added above a new boat house
where all the unit/boating repairs are done. In
addition just over a year ago the unit extended
its galley to provide a purpose built commercial
kitchen to handle more cadets/visitors at the unit.
The unit is host to various organisations both in
the sea cadet community and also schools, clubs
and the police for training. We can provide accommodation,
catering facilities and plenty of classrooms fitted
with internet connected computers - the ideal place
to run training weekends or even the occasional
party or get together. If you are interested in
