One of a series of breakwaters around Portland Harbour.

The Inner and Outer Breakwaters were constructed between 1849 and 1872 to create a strategic Harbour of Refuge for use by the Royal Navy and merchant ships. Much more information can be found at https://www.portlandhistory.co.uk/portland-harbour.html The photo shows the scale and architectural style of the structure facing the harbour. The photographer had been given authorised access to temporary works. On the skyline is The Verne citadel, built as a siege fortress in the same period.

Part of the redundant HM Naval Dockyard at Portland. This building is one of two conjoined offices built in the mid-19th century which are Grade II-listed (List Entry Number: 1203099 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1203099 Historic England). This one, with the clock turret, appears to have lost its roof in the years since the Royal Dockyard closed in 1959.

The two conjoined white buildings were the dockyard offices of the former naval base which closed in 1959. They were built in the mid-nineteenth century and are Grade II-listed (List Entry Number: 1203099 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1203099 Historic England). The left-hand building, with the clock turret, appears to have lost its roof in the years since the Royal Dockyard closed in 1959.
