North Gate and attached
dockyard walls
GV II
Gateway and attached dock walls. 1870s. Limestone ashlar gateway, with rubble and ashlar walls. Gateway has a pair of massive, rusticated square piers with round-arch doorways with VR in wrought-iron open fanlights, set in rectangular recesses and leading to brick vaulted through passages, a thin string and moulded cap with stepped base to ball finials. C20 timber double doors, beneath a wrought-iron overthrow and hexagonal lamp. Quadrant walls with 5 rifle loops extend forward to plain piers, connected to dock walls with half-round coping, extending approx. 450m to the S and SW to meet the C18 Yard walls attached to the Morice Gate (qv), and approx. 250m to NW and SW to enclose the N end of the Morice Yard.
HISTORY: the Yard was laid out by the Board of Ordnance from 1720, and the C18 Dockyard walls (qv) were extended in the mid C19 expansion of Devonport Dockyard when the North Gate was added. An important element in defining the C19 extent ofwhat is the best surviving C18 naval ordnance yard in the country.
