FORMER BOARD OF ORDNANCE GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES: Magazine Lane, Marchwood, Hampshire
Author(s): Roger Bowdler
Notes on the construction, use, and decline of the Marchwood Gunpowder Magazines. The depot is of considerable interest as a rare purpose-built gunpowder storage facility. The layout of the depot and the construction of the only partly-surviving magazine were both innovatory in their day. Marchwood is an important site as a reminder of Hampshire's contribution to the nation's defences.
