THE ROYAL BRASS FOUNDRY 1717
Attributed to Sir JOHN VANBRUGH. Following an explosion at Bagley’s Foundry at Moorfields in 1716 which killed 17 people, The Board of Ordnance decided to build its own foundry at Woolwich. Guns for Government service were cast here until c. 1870.
The Royal Arsenal area is located on the south bank of the Thames in the Woolwich area, an area that was used to make weapons, armor and more, mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1855 the name of the place was changed to Royal Gun Factory
