Royal Arsenal Gatehouse, Military gatehouse in Greenwich, England.
The Royal Arsenal Gatehouse features three main openings with pedestrian paths, constructed from yellow stock brick and Portland stone with red brick additions.
Built in 1828 to replace an earlier 1720 gate, the structure was designed by Colonel John Thomas Jones as the primary entrance to the military manufacturing complex.
The gatehouse marks the entrance to the Royal Arsenal complex, which manufactured military equipment and ammunition during both World Wars.
Located between Beresford Square and Plumstead Road, the gatehouse provides access to Woolwich Arsenal railway station and Docklands Light Railway connections.
Brass mortars from 1828 stand atop the lodges, while the 1859 addition includes an office with a bell tower marking time for arsenal workers.
