Hi I stubbled across this site, while I was looking for information on The Akbar Nautical Training School. My dad attended there, he was born in 1930's, I think he was 14 years old when he was sent there, so it would have been in the 1940's (Frank Balchin, origonally from London). He's not too good with dates any more. Dad went away to sea for most of his working life, then worked on the River Mersey for 20 odd years, seems mad to think he ended up living so close to where he was made to toe the line. I did read on another site that the school was off Greenfeild Lane, and the it closed in 1956. There is no longer a school there but the masters house is, "Halyard House" also its now known as a private road called The Akbar.
