Ashburton House, Stoke's Bay, Gosport, purchased by government for a college for naval cadets, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Ashburton House, Stoke's Bay, Gosport, [Hampshire], purchased by government for a college for naval cadets, 1862. Engraving from a photograph by Richard Poate. A flight of steps lead to the porch, which gives entry to...rooms of unusual size and height, admirably adapted for mess and school rooms, lecture-hall, and library. The upper story contains thirty bedrooms, capable of giving accommodation at once to one hundred cadets. A large garden...would be amply sufficient to supply the establishment all the year round with fruit and vegetables...beyond low- water mark the nature of the ground will afford an anchorage where large sailing-boats can be moored...It would be contiguous to a Government dockyard; would be sufficiently distant, being two miles from Gosport, from any town to protect the pupils from the temptations thrown in the way of youths in a populous neighbourhood; and would be situated on a dry, gravelly soil, with a southerly aspect, and near enough to the beach to have ready access to boats and seagoing tenders'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
Ashburton House, Stoke's Bay, Gosport, Hampshire: A Historic Naval Cadet Training Establishment This photograph print, taken by Richard Poate in 1862, showcases Ashburton House, a grand Victorian building located in Stoke's Bay, Gosport, Hampshire. The image reveals a magnificent structure that was soon to become a college for naval cadets, purchased by the British government for the purpose of educating and training future seafaring officers. The engraving depicts a flight of steps leading to the porch, which grants entry to the impressive building. Inside, rooms of unusual size and height are revealed, perfectly suited for mess and school rooms, a lecture-hall, and a library. The upper story contains thirty bedrooms, capable of accommodating one hundred cadets at once. The surrounding land boasts a large garden, which would be ample to supply the establishment with fruit and vegetables throughout the year. Beyond low-water mark, the nature of the ground offers an anchorage where large sailing-boats can be moored. The college was strategically situated, being contiguous to a Government dockyard, yet sufficiently distant from Gosport, protecting the pupils from the temptations that may arise in a populous neighborhood. The location boasted a dry, gravelly soil with a southerly aspect and was near enough to the beach to provide ready access to boats and seagoing tenders. This photograph print, taken from the Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a glimpse into the rich history of naval education and training in the United Kingdom. The unknown creator beautifully captured the essence of Ashburton House, a testament to the country's commitment to nurturing future generations of seafaring officers.
