If this was the cadet centre in Newport near the Lark pub, the centre was home to 16 independant parachute company, formerly part of 15 Para, then 4 Para from around 1984 till they moved to Triumph Road Nottingham around 1993.
I joined 16 company here in 1983.
I last visited here in 2008 on an ACF instructors course to use the indoor range.
There were still evidence of the Parachute regiment previous occupation in the fan tower in the main hall and paint scheme which must have been from when they last paraded here.
I understand it has now been demolished and built on.
