Royal William Victualling Yard
The Royal William Victualling Yard in Stonehouse, a suburb of Plymouth, England, was the major victualling depot of the Royal Navy and an important adjunct of Devonport Dockyard. It was designed by the architect Sir John Rennie and was named after King William IV.〔 It was built between 1826 and 1835, and occupies a site of approximately being half of Western Kings, north of Devil's Point.
The Yard was closed in 1992 and subsequently passed into private hands. Grade I listed, it was converted to an up-market mixed use development by Urban Splash. Described as the grandest of the royal victualling yards, 'in its externally largely unaltered state it remains today one of the most magnificent industrial monuments in the country'.〔
==The site==
Plymouth's old victualling yard, on a wharf next to the Citadel at Sutton Pool, predated the establishment of the dockyard at Devonport in 1690. Through the eighteenth century it continued in use, with manufacturing taking place at various locations around the old harbour. Following the Napoleonic Wars, it was resolved to centralise Plymouth's victualling provision on a new site. Over three years, the northern half of the promontory known as Western King was levelled to provide the site for the new yard, the spoil being used to extend the site, which was arranged around a deep basin lined with granite.
