GUNWHARF QUAYS HISTORY
Gunwharf was developed on the site of HMS Vernon, which closed in 1986. HMS Vernon was the centre for development and training of torpedoes and torpedo men for the Royal Navy. However the history of Gunwharf is much older than HMS Vernon and can be traced back to the 12th century when King Richard, let out land for development of a dockyard and constructed a dock for royal galleys, known as Richards Docks.

Gunwharf Quays gets its name from its use from the late 17th century. From this time it was the main ordinance supply depot for the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, it was from this site that ships loaded their weapons, canon balls and gunpowder before leaving Portsmouth Harbour. It was from this site that HMS Victory would have collected her weapons and munitions before leaving to fight at the Battle of Trafalgar.
The HMS Vernon site was badly damaged in The Blitz during the Second World War and many building were destroyed. Some original buildings do still remain, as mentioned earlier the Old Customs House pub is housed in an old Royal Naval administrative building and the Aspex Gallery, free admission, is housed in the Vulcan building another listed building that survived the bombing.
