Butts


Reference AL.566_002 RAHT
Dated as being taken on 1st November 1901
This would have been a typical scene in the Arsenal. The sound and vibration of these coastal/ navel guns could be felt for some distance in the neighbourhood. The firing of guns continued well into the 1960's.

Showing two steam engines and the Butts in back ground.

No other information is known.
Assumed Woolwich Arsenal.
