Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady, this print showcases Priddys Hard in Gosport, Hampshire - a former Royal Ordnance Depot that played a crucial role in coastal defense. The image transports us back to the year 2020 when this once bustling depot stood as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication. Priddys Hard served as both a munitions factory and magazine during its operational years, providing essential supplies for national security. The photo beautifully captures the vastness of the site with its intricate network of buildings and docks stretching out along the coast. Looking at this print evokes a sense of awe at the sheer scale of operations that took place within these walls. It serves as an important reminder of our nation's commitment to safeguarding its shores throughout history.
