Holmrook Hall
Holmrook Hall was a Victorian country house, at one time owned by the Reverend Charles Skeffington Lutwidge. His relative Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as the author, mathematician and photographer Lewis Carroll, used to come and stay occasionally.
During World War II, Holmrook Hall was requisitioned by the Admiralty on behalf of the Royal Navy, with locals told that it was a rest home for shipwrecked and distressed sailors. In actually fact, strategically located between ROF Drigg and ROF Sellafield, it was the Royal Navy bomb and munitions training school between 1943 and 1946, under the title HMS Volcano.

by: Hello MarqueeMy life’s a bomb, and held in your hands
It’s time for me to go
Throw me in the water, and I’ll explode
I’ll become the water to sink their boat
I know, it’s time its time, it’s time it’s time, it’s for me to go
And we are, everything we used to be
Now here and I am, everything we used to know
Dead I am right ahead, now up
In the sky we float like (can you see me now, up in the clouds?)
Angels now, so beautiful, just don’t look down.
Angels now, so beautiful, just don’t look down.
Angels now, so beautiful, just don’t look down.
Angels now, so beautiful, (in the sky in the sky), just don’t look down.
My life’s a bomb.
