Brighton Sea Cadet Unit was formally commissioned 70 years ago as part of the Naval Brigade and, having led a rather nomadic life, was finally presented with the Benson Hall by the widow of the late Lieutenant Commander Benson, who had been a stalwart member of the Sussex RNVR and a member of the Navy League.
The Unit was initially commissioned as T.S. Dolphin and later T.S. Brighton, after the demise of any naval ship bearing that name.
The Benson Hall has had a chequered history being a tannery and a garage for horse drawn trams before becoming a Sea Cadet Unit.
We serve a large catchment area in Brighton and are centrally located in Lewes Road with easy access to transport routes.
