HISTORY: Built in 1847 as a magazine and armoury to the designs of Colonel J. Oldfield, the Western District's Commanding Royal Engineer, this building forms an integral part of the scheduled outer defences around the late C17 Citadel, which were subject to a continuous programme of modernisation in order to keep abreast of the major developments in ordnance. The defences of the Plymouth area form the most remarkable grouping in Britain where the development of coastal defence from the C16 can be appreciated. The building's function changed after the construction of Madeira Road in the late C19, when minor alterations - which comprised the insertion of windows - left the mid C19 building substantially intact and standing in clear relationship to both the Citadel and the listed harbour walls below.
