Walls and bollards to No.3 Basin
GV II*
Basin walls. 1844-8. Channelled rustication to stone-coped granite walls. Steps to north and -south walls. Walls extend approximately 800m around basin, terminating in the caisson closing the SW entrance. A former caisson entrance to the N is blocked. Cast-iron bollards set into the quay edge inscribed VR. Occupies a formal position in front of the Quadrangle (qv), the largest engineering complex erected for the navy, and is graded to reflect this important position. It is comparable with but better preserved than the Steam Basin at the contemporary steam engineering complex at Portsmouth. These facilities were built for servicing the increasingly large warships of the era, and with the Quadrangle, are indicative of the commitment by the navy to building a steam-powered fleet.
