Nice chappel lets hope it survives.

I would hope the chapel would stay also but it does not look good to have it completely emptied as well ????

English heratige !! They can be as much use as an ashtray on motorbike. Your right it should be preserved, proabably the best person to pester at the moment is Boris Johnson, he's looking to make a mark as the new mayor.

Last I heard the site had been purchased by an Islamic corporation (???) and, without wishing to get the dreaded "P" word involved, if this is the case then the likelihood of the Chapel being preserved is somewhere around zero!!!!!

Awesome pics dude. I know 28dl aswell but im not a member.You done MoD Longcross yet.

Of course we have to tell our soldiers that using a sacred book as a target at the firing range is a no-no, but destruction of one of our places of worship is clearly acceptable...

I may be stupid but....

Careful mate - things are starting to stray into the dreaded twin evil realms of Politics and Religion........

Suffice it to say it will be interesting to see what happens to the barracks site in general and the chapel in particular!!!

I'm no expert (as you all know) - but I doubt if an important church like this one would bite the dust. It's been around longer than the modern blocks and would be considered heritage, surely?? The Garrison church at Shoebury has survived the long since departed khaki corps. But, I admit I've never seen it open. Interesting subject. My father in law says never discuss politics and religion. But saving a barracks church is a campaign issue in my humble opinion.

How long till the Cenotaph is removed because it 'offends' someone?

this is genuine following an event.

"I Had the bad luck to be in Gloucester on Saturday, April 19, and I was

sickened. It was some sort of so-called heritage event and I saw some really

terrible stuff. It was basically not believable, just so backward and

reactionary. Haven't we made any progress in thousands of years? It was all

about guns and soldiers. The noise coming from the docks was dreadful. Where

were the minorities? It was just white supremacists, which is what those

guys in the red coats were, their job just to walk all over people with

brown skin.

Lots of the so-called "entertainment" was people in armour doing fake

fights. What a terrible example to set vulnerable kids? Those people were

just thugs. You might as well get hoodies to give one another a good

kicking. But what really got me was that ethnic minorities and other

vulnerable communities were totally excluded. I would like to have seen an

ethnic person go up to that lot and say: "I want to join in and wear a

stupid costume like you". That would of made those so-called 'Warriors' look

totally embarrassed and they would have said 'No' anyway. If they must do

this stuff in Gloucester, let's be positive and pro-life! There are loads of

things they could do instead of so-called "glory" and battles.

There was a great story in Gay Pride magazine. It was about Nelson's sailors

who were gay. On one ship they were called "The Mollies" because the ship

was the Molly Rudge. They were sick of abuse and discrimination so when they

captured a cargo of clothing they all put on women's clothing and refused to

fight the French any more. They put their captain in a boat and said their

cat was the captain now and sailed off to Yucatan where they started a gay

colony called Molliania which sadly was wiped out by native Americans who

were victims of racism so couldn't be blamed. Why not enact that down the

docks?

There was never an RN ship called the Molly Rudge

I notice the keys are missing for the ammo bunker.

I remember the gym - we used to play 5-aside in there during winter months!!!
