A general view of No. 8 Magazine at Priddys Hard Naval Armament Depot, Gosport. Parts of the roof have been covered with tarpaulins where the ridge tiles and slates were blown off when No. 9 Magazine was totally destroyed in an air raid on the night of 10-11 Mar. 1941. Roof ladders are in place and workmen have set up another ladder to get at some slates that have slipped on the hip end of the nearest roof.
