Architectural Graffiti in Chatham Historic Dockyard.


This example can be found on the southern end of the Ropery, which is the end nearest to Chatham town centre.

It begins with an obliterated 84, which indicates the presence of the 84th Regiment of Foot within Chatham Dockyard at around 1834. S.PLANT was kind enough to supply the date as well as the name of the regiment which was the York & Lancaster Regiment.
