Apartments and Houses on the site of the former Royal Naval Armaments Depot, Marchwood, Southampton
These 'new' buildings date from the early 1990s and have a commanding view over the River Test … mainly of the Container Port … but you can't have everything. Sadly, not much is left of the former Royal Naval Armaments Depot at Marchwood, which was opened in 1815 … as we know, an important year in British History. It was built as a satellite depot, to the main depot at Gosport, for the bulk storage of Barrels of Gunpowder … some 21,000 were stored at this site. The site was chosen as it had good land and river access but was a suitable distance away from the Naval Dockyards in case of explosion. Eventually the site became redundant and in the early 1950s an Oil Fuelled Power Station was built and opened on part of the site. This lasted until the 1980s and has now been replaced by the new Marchwood Power Station … see … Image
