The Making Of The Modern Dockyard
On the 14th November 1961, Nelson’s Dockyard was opened as a heritage site by The Friends of English Harbour. Using photographs in the Dockyard Museum Collection from the 1940s and 1950s, we show how the Dockyard has changed over time, transforming it from a historic ruin to an internationally recognized heritage site.
