The origins of the area as it stands today began when the Board Of Ordinance, a Naval government body, purchased the land that would become 'Priddy's Hard' (named after its former landowner Jane Priddy) in 1750. The area enjoys a rich and fascinating history and in it's past has been a fort, an armaments depot, a storage centre and most recently housing development and museum. We are fortunate to have access to the museum building and an array of storage warehouses, work shops and old magazines.
