740-1/95/231 Terrace Walls and associated steps
and railings
GV II
Terrace retaining walls, and associated railings and steps. 1760s, N section cut back and rebuilt mid C19. Roughly coursed local limestone with granite ashlar coping.
Retaining walls to W side of ramp leading up to the Officers' Terrace (qv). Wall extends approx. 180m, and has a central flight of steps in 3 sections and another at the N end; returns to the E then extends 120m to N; C18 section has iron railings with column newels and semi-circular arched arcading.
HISTORY: These walls were built beneath the Officer's Terrace (qv) to retain a ramp which was part of the expansion and rebuilding of the dockyards from the 1760s. The wall was cut back for the extension of the Old (North) Smithery ( qv). These walls form an important part of the landscape of the Yard, reflecting its original topography, as part of the oldest part of Devonport dockyard.
