Building MPM783 - NUMBER 15 STORE (BUILDING NUMBER 1/62) AND BOLLARD AT SOUTH EAST CORNER

Ropery store built in 1771, much altered mid-late 20th century. Constructed as part of the rebuilding of the ropery after the fire of 1770; possibly used for storing tarred hemp before it was transferred to the ropery for laying. Though more altered than the roperies at either Chatham or Devonport, this is still one of the largest integrated groups of 18th century industrial buildings in the country, and part of a group of late-18th century stores.
