Laboratory Pavilion East at Royal Arsenal
The Royal Arsenal at Woolwich dated from the late 17th century and at the time of the First World War covered 1,285 acres and employed close to 80,000 people. It finally closed as a factory in 1967 and the Ministry of Defence moved out in 1994. Today it is open to the public and is being redeveloped for housing and community use. It comprises one of the biggest concentrations of Grade I and Grade II listed buildings converted for residential use, with more than 3,000 residents. A full history can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Arsenal
This is Laboratory Pavilion East which dates from around 1696. It is Grade II Listed.

Woolwich: Duke of Wellington Avenue
Duke of Wellington Avenue is one of the main east-west thoroughfares on the former Royal Arsenal site, which is currently being refurbished as a residential development. The Royal Arsenal Property's website is here http://www.royalarsenalproperty.com/home.htm
The 1870 Ordnance Survey map shows the whole Royal Arsenal site as a blank area devoid of any detail, reflecting the secret nature of the munitions fabrication work going on at the time.
