HMS Conway was a school for naval cadets originally based on a ship of that name anchored in the River Mersey.It was a redundant timber built man of war.


Later HMS Conway was a shore based school on Anglesey and still called HMS Conway. I have a slight interest in HMS Conway because a friend was a cadet at the school on Anglesey in the late 1960`s/early 1970`s and I and a few friends visited him on Anglesey on a couple of occasions.

Although the cadets were dressed in RN officers style uniforms ,HMS Conway was not as far as I am aware part of the R.N. and in fact my friend had a career in the Merchant Navy after leaving HMS Conway.

P.B.
