Overview

History & significance

Tudor naval storehouse at Convoys Wharf is a sixteenth-century brick structure located in Deptford, south London, that formed part of the royal dockyard complex established by Henry VIII.

Constructed in brick with timber framing, the structure retains evidence of its original function through its robust design and substantial floor plan, typical of purpose-built military storage facilities of the period.
