On the frontage of the Paint and Lead Rolling Mill there are numerous examples of graffiti which have survived well considering the hardness of the brick. Compared with the Ropery, the brick used in the building of the P & LRM does not take a 'deep marking' in the same way. But the clarity of the words seem very clear.
HMS Warspite (twice)
[note Warspite's addition "commissioned 26th March 1899]
HMS Rodney
HMS Bacchante
(Names to conjure with)
I am going back to look more closely at this section of wall as there is so much more I have missed.
