Shifting House (Building 431), to northwest of Camber

Shifting House, located to the northwest of Camber, is a single-storey building constructed between 1898 and 1899. It is built of brick in Flemish bond and features a hipped slate roof. The interior retains timber trusses, although the original fittings have been removed. The building has cambered brick arches with voussoir heads, a plante door with an overlight, and twelve-pane casements.

Historically, Shifting House was built for changing into magazine clothing and is prominently situated north of the main magazine group at Priddy's Hard. Its construction was part of a significant expansion phase at Priddy's Hard, distinguishing it from other ordnance depots. The magazines and related structures at Priddy's Hard date back to the late 18th century. The site's expansion from the mid-19th century was closely linked to advancements in land and sea artillery and the navy's transition from traditional sailing ships to the Dreadnought class in the early 1900s. Priddy's Hard is noted for having the best-preserved range of structures that reflect this important history of continuous growth and adaptation, which is tied to Britain's status as a global sea power.
