Re: Really Really Old Stuff - Any Help Appreciated
I have been asked to pass on the info that their was a recruiting station for the Royal Navy in Accrington. It also recruited for the Royal Marines. It was known as the Accrington Out Station
It operated between the years of 1909 to 1919.
If you passed the medical you were given a rail docket to the Naval Depot.
Again, this information came from someone in the know... I take no credit for it.
