Further Information: Label on the base suggests it was produced in Chesterfield, though there was a large Supply Reserve Depot in Deptford Dockyard commandeered for military use at the outbreak of the Great War. It remained a large military supply depot until 1984, when the dockyard shut and became Convoys Wharf.
