Grand Magazine

The Grand Magazine held one thousand 100lb barrels, or 45 tonnes, of gun powder. The fittings on the barrels were made of copper to prevent sparks.

The lobby at the front of this magazine allowed for the manoeuvring of barrels and for changing into woollen magazine clothing.

The Grand Magazine is currently closed to the general public for essential restoration works.
