As it stood in 1944
What HMNB Devonport looked like in its prime.
A broad industrial waterfront complex of long quays, rows of dry docks and slips, corrugated-steel and brick workshops, tall shipyard cranes and a tall chimney stack; stone 18th-century dock walls and covered timber slip buildings sit alongside large 19th–20th century sheds. The shore is lined by piers, moored warships and maintenance berths; surfaces are mainly cobble and concrete, with scaffolding, gantries and clustered ancillary buildings filling the yard.
