South Smithery, South Yard, HM Naval Base, Plymouth - Plymouth, City of (UA)
Dockyard smithery built 1771, modified C19 and reconstructed c1897. It remained in use until 1987 when structural faults were discovered. There is continued deterioration of the roof, masonry and interiors. An options report was issued in 2010, but a repair strategy has not yet been put in place. In 2017 a large net was installed on the roof to prevent dislodged roofing materials falling in high winds.
