Preston Sea Cadets History

Preston Sea Cadet Corps is an organisation with over 80 years of Service to a large area of Central Lancashire.

Currently we have traced our history back to 1920 with the first mention of us in minutes from a Council meeting, held in that year, where Preston Town Council allotted us some land to place a building which was donated to us . . .

[The Galloway Building]

The Galloway Building started its life along with serveral other similar buildings as a hospital and was originally built in 1914 on Moor Park.

It was later used as a cricket pavilion before being dismantled and rebuilt in its present location on strand road in 1920.
