The gate and porter's lodge at the entrance to Woolwich Dockyard
The dockyard was founded in 1513 by Henry VIII for the building of his new ship, the Great Harry. At 1500 tons it was the largest ship of its day. The vessel was destroyed by fire at Woolwich in 1553. When the Sovereign of the Seas was built here in 1637 the dockyard had been enlarged and access could be gained to the rope yard which was completed in 1574. The gatehouse and clockhouse were built between 1780-1789. The yard continued to be enlarged until the middle of the 19th century in order to build steamships. In 1869 the yard closed.
