Just before WW2 was declared a large body of Admiralty workers were moved into what were (I think) Blocks of buildings originally intended for WW1 as hospitals. My father moved from Devonport Dockyard in 1939 to work in Bath in the construction and design of ships etc during the conflict. The offices were by the end of the war spread over three site at Ensleigh, Foxhill and Warminster Road. All are gone now with the now MoD working on a site on the edge of Bristol. Huge employer for the city in those days. I worked there, as did an uncle, cousins and sister.
