Devonshire Dock Hall

Devonshire Dock Hall is a large indoor shipbuilding and assembly complex located in the BAE Systems shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, England. The facility was constructed between 1982 and 1986 for Vickers Shipbuilding and Engineering, and provides a controlled environment for ship and submarine assembly. The hall has a steel frame and measures 260 meters in length, 58 meters in width, and covers an area of over 35,000 square meters. It is the tallest building in Barrow and can be seen from miles around, including from the Blackpool Promenade over 20 miles away. The facility is currently undergoing a £300 million redevelopment to enable the construction of the Dreadnought-class submarines, and has previously been used to construct the Vanguard-class submarines and the Astute-class submarines.learn more on wikipedia
