  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

  • Fire! Heat! Sweat! Sand! and with Pride! an Ex-Employee of HM Dockyard, Portsmouth Looks Back
    Fire! Heat! Sweat! Sand! and With Pride! An Ex-Employee of HM Dockyard, Portsmouth Looks Back. Chapter 1 - A NEW BEGINNING Is it a good thing to look back to the past? I suppose, really, it depends on whether one has had a very happy childhood and home life, or one of utter sadness and sorrow that the individual wishes to blot out the past totally for the rest of his or her life. That, one can sympathise certainly with the individual concerned. However in my case I was very lucky that I was in the former category. Yes, times were hard - my late lovely parents and my late lovely married sister, earning a living during the 1950s, found it hard to make ends meet; but we were very happy with what we had, and our home at No 7 Rochester Road Southsea, in the historic city of Portsmouth, right on the South Coast of the United Kingdom, and home of course to the Royal Navy.1 I am now retired but went out into the big wide world to earn a living, at the tender age of 15, in January 1960, my final year at school in 1959, my birthday falling in December of that year, as it does every year. I always wanted to work in the Portsmouth Naval Base, as it is now called, originally called H. M. Dockyard, but entry had to be gained by passing the Dockyard Exam. This was held at the old Apprentice Training Centre at Flathouse, Mile End in Portsmouth. This has long passed into the history books, along with the old Mile End Cemetery, Bailey & Whites large timber store - all now under the new Continental ferry port.

  • Portsmouth Dockyard in the Twentieth Century1
    PART THREE PORTSMOUTH DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY1 3.1 INTRODUCTION The twentieth century topography of Portsmouth Dockyard can be related first to the geology and geography of Portsea Island and secondly to the technological development of warships and their need for appropriately sized and furnished docks and basins. In 2013, Portsmouth Naval Base covered 300 acres of land, with 62 acres of basin, 17 dry docks and locks, 900 buildings and 3 miles of waterfront (Bannister, 10 June 2013a). The Portsmouth Naval Base Property Trust (Heritage Area) footprint is 11.25 acres (4.56 hectares) which equates to 4.23% of the land area of the Naval Base or 3.5% of the total Naval Base footprint including the Basins (Duncan, 2013). From 8 or 9 acres in 1520–40 (Oppenheim, 1988, pp. 88-9), the dockyard was increased to 10 acres in 1658, to 95 acres in 1790, and gained 20 acres in 1843 for the steam basin and 180 acres by 1865 for the 1867 extension (Colson, 1881, p. 118). Surveyor Sir Baldwin Wake Walker warned the Admiralty in 1855 and again in 1858 that the harbour mouth needed dredging, as those [ships] of the largest Class could not in the present state of its Channel go out of Harbour, even in the event of a Blockade, in a condition to meet the Enemy, inasmuch as the insufficiency of Water renders it impossible for them to go out of Harbour with all their Guns, Coals, Ammunition and Stores on board. He noted further in 1858 that the harbour itself “is so blocked up by mud that there is barely sufficient space to moor the comparatively small Force at present there,” urging annual dredging to allow the larger current ships to moor there.

Royal Dockyards provided the Royal Navy with the shore support facilities it required to build, repair and maintain the fleet. It was the dry docks that set the Royal Yards apart from their civilian counterparts until well into the 19th century. By the mid-18th Century the Royal Yards had developed into the largest industrial organisations in the world with complex facilities supporting thousands of skilled workers in a wide number of trades. It was the level of the facilities

  • Maritime and Naval Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Maritime and Naval Buildings Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. England has the longest coastline in relation to its land mass in Europe: nowhere is very far from the sea.

  • The Royal Dockyard Worker in Edwardian England: Culture, Leisure and Empire
    The Royal Dockyard Worker in Edwardian England: Culture, Leisure and Empire Melanie Marie Bassett 108964 The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. March 2014 1 Abstract This thesis is a detailed study of the influence of imperialism on the English working-class male during the period of ‘high imperialism’. Recent debate on the impact of imperialism on the British working class has split academics between those who argue in favour of an imperial dominant ideology and those who question its impact. The thesis will address this disparity and make an original contribution to the historiography of British imperialism by examining discourses of ‘top down’ imperialism alongside working-class responses to evaluate their impact and highlight examples of cultural agency. By using a detailed study of the Portsmouth Royal Dockyard worker the thesis highlights the importance of local experiences in mediating the imperial narrative. The impact of workplace relations in the community, the civic elites, the provincial press and commercial leisure are explored to provide a nuanced understanding of how these processes worked in practice. Portsmouth’s Royal Dockyard worker provides an interesting case study as the town’s economic prosperity rested with the presence of the Admiralty in the town. The Royal Dockyard workers were the largest industrial group in the town and possessed a unique perspective as employees of the state. They were instrumental in the building and maintenance of the British Fleet, which continued to gain increasing interest during the Edwardian period due to the escalation of the Naval Arms Race with Germany and the other world powers.

  • Paucity of Shipwrights in British Royal Naval Dockyards During World War II and the Royal Dockyard Schools and Their Education System by F
    Paucity of Shipwrights in British Royal Naval Dockyards During World War II and The Royal Dockyard Schools and their Education System by F. E. King Introduction Early in the 1840s, the Admiralty, recognizing the need to improve the technical educa- tion of Shipwrights in the Naval Dockyards, approved the establishment of apprentice schools. The first Dockyard School opened in Chatham Dockyard in 1843, followed by schools in Ports- mouth and Devonport in 1844, and Sheerness, Pembroke, Deptford and Woolwich by 1846. At first, the purpose of the schools was to improve the technical competence of Shipwright Appren- tices and to identify those that showed the most academic aptitude for further education in order to qualify as Naval Constructors. Later, as the Royal Navy went from wooden ships with sails to steel, electricity and steam propulsion, the mission of the schools expanded to include the tech- nical education of apprentices in all the trades. Over the years, the Dockyard Schools at Chatham, Devonport, Portsmouth, Rosyth (re- established in 1940) and Sheerness developed a four-year education program for the most aca- demically qualified students that lasted until 1958 when the last traditional classes of Fourth- Years graduated. After the War, with countries of the Empire gaining independence, Britannia no longer needed to rule the waves. Overseas dockyards were closed, and the number of apprentices greatly reduced. The Dockyard Schools were phased out completely by 1971. The intent of this article is to supplement the accounts of the Dockyard Schools presented by Allen1 and Luscombe2, with details derived from archival documents from the period 1936 through 19453 while they are still available and somewhat readable, and to capture some of the history of an unusual, perhaps unique, education system.
