Hi Bill,

Very interesting article. As you are no doubt aware the Cornwall 'evolved' into TS Wellesley which found a home at the WW1/WW2 Submarine Base, HMS Elfin, between both conflicts and after the second.

Maybe, if you are interested in donation, the current Wellesley School, still located at Links Road, Blyth may be VERY interested in giving it a home. I can find out IF you are interested in preserving this icon from the past.

Best Wishes,

Brian Garnett
