Description

The terrace walls in front of the Wardroom at HMS Drake were built around 1902. They are made of dressed Plymouth limestone and feature buttressed piers and turned balustrades topped with wrought-iron lamps. The walls run parallel to the front of the Wardroom Blocks and include three flights of broad steps. These walls are part of a well-planned group that includes the Wardroom and officer's quarters, all situated within a complete barracks complex.
