HISTORICAL NOTE: This building, prominently sited to the N of the late C18 magazine group, was built as a Shifting Room (for changing into magazine clothing) at the end of the C19, and thus relates to a key phase of expansion in the history of this site. The magazines and related structures at Priddy's Hard date from the late 18th century. The site's expansion from the mid 19th century was closely related to the development of land and sea artillery and the navy's transition from the age of sail, powder and solid shot to the Dreadnought class of the early 1900s. Priddy's Hard retains the best-preserved range of structures that relate to this remarkable history of continual enlargement and adaptation, one that encompasses that of Britain's dominance as a sea power on a global scale.
