Abstract:		 This summary report, compiled by Jeremy Lake of the Thematic Listing Programme (TLP) and David Evans, concerns the ordnance yards built for the navy and army from the 18th century to 1914. In particular, it focuses on those of the extensive naval sites whose complexity as industrial sites and potential interest had first been raised during TLP’s work on naval dockyards (Lake and Douet, 1997): the listings published in August 1999 included the 18th century ordnance stores at Morice Yard in Plymouth and New Gun Wharf in Portsmouth. It was clear, for example, that very little was known concerning the development of ordnance storage at Chatham (which related to a dockyard now being considered for World Heritage Site status). Bull Point is still in active use by MOD, and will be subject to an extension of the Scheduled Ancient Monument (from the 1850s magazines to two late cordite and guncotton magazines) and some new listing recommendations. A lack of knowledge concerning the development of Priddy’s Hard at Gosport – where key C19 developments have been afforded no protection - had also prevented discussions between Hampshire County Council, Gosport Borough and English Heritage concerning this important site to proceed on an informed basis: former listing proposals made in 1989 had been rejected by a minister due to inadequate evidence. Housing is now taking up much of the late 19th expansion outside the 18th century fortifications, within which a museum is being developed by Gosport Borough Council: TLP and the EH regional team have been involved in discussions over the relative significance of structures here over the last two years. This project has also cast much new light on the history of Upnor Castle (EH property). The entire complex at Weedon Bec was upgraded to II* in 1998, at the outset of this project: list descriptions will be revised to take account of detailed recording of the site.
