Royal William Victualling Yard, Stonehouse, Plymouth

The Royal William Victualling Yard was the major victualling depot of the Royal Navy. It was designed by the architect Sir John Rennie and was named after King William IV. It was built between 1826 and 1835.

The outstanding Brewhouse was purpose-built in 1834, but was never actually equipped as a brewery, and stood empty until 1885, when alternative uses were found.

There are also two cooperages on the site, but apparently no maltings.

The site is currently being developed for mixed uses including residential, retail and restaurants. Most of the buildings are listed, some at Grade 1. The brewhouse has been converted into apartments.
