Royal Arsenal

Royal Arsenal was a major military industrial complex located in Woolwich, London, established in the 16th century. Initially a place for storing and manufacturing weapons and ammunition for the British Army, it played a crucial role in supplying armaments during various conflicts, including the World Wars. The site included factories, workshops, and warehouses, and it was pivotal in advancing military technology. After its closure in the 1960s, parts of the Arsenal were redeveloped into residential and commercial areas, preserving elements of its historical significance while contributing to modern urban life.
