Project Description
Devonport Column was constructed in 1824 to commemorate Plymouth Dock becoming the new town of Devonport. This Grade 1 Listed structure was on the Buildings at Risk register. Work to start on the 124ft column came after the Heritage Lottery agreed to grant funding worth £685,000.
The main focus on the restoration was to be able to provide a tourist attraction where the public can climb to the top and view the surrounding areas
“ Devonport Column is one of the city’s finest heritage buildings. Now fully restored and renovated thanks to a Heritage Lottery Grant, the public can access the 124-foot viewing platform for the first time in more than 50 years, offering the finest views across the city, Dartmoor, Cornwall and the Sound”
