Biografie

Woolwich Arsenal was developed from the Royal Laboratory, Carriage Department and Powder House. It dates to the Tudor period and was a centre for the manufacture and testing of arms. It housed the main Government foundry. It was named the Warren until 1805 when George III renamed it the Royal Arsenal. Up to 40,000 workers were employed there during the Second World War. Post-war, the site was reduced in size and some was sold off for housing development.
