Entrance to the old HM victualling yard in Gibraltar built to supply Royal Navy ships anchored at Rosia Bay. The yard was completed in 1812 and used until the 1980s Admiral Lord Nelson's body was brought to Rosia Bay after the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and was preserved in a barrel of brandy for the journey home.
