Description:Remnants of the World War II Fleet Air Arm quarters in the grounds of Clayton Hall. During World War II Clayton Hall became HMS Daedalus, a land based Royal Naval Artificer Training Establishment. Many buildings were built within the grounds of the Hall including accommodation and a chapel.

Clayton Hall became a grammar school for girls in 1948. Most of the Navy buildings were used by the school and some re-used for different purposes including a children's playgroup. Most of the buildings gradually fell into a state of disrepair and most were demolished in the early 1990s. The school became a mixed comprehensive in 1978 and was later renamed Clayton Hall Academy.
