Home > Devonport, Devon

Devonport, in Devon, was formerly called Plymouth Dock. It is now a district of Plymouth, although it was at one time the more important settlement. Devonport was originally one of the " Three Towns" (along with Plymouth and East Stonehouse) which were merged in 1914 to form what would later become, in 1928, the City of Plymouth.

Devonport has a large port, but it is best known for the Royal Navy's dockyard. It is a major centre for naval refitting.

Devonport also has its own town centre, a swimming pool, a park and a sports ground, Brickfields, which is now home to Plymouth Albion, the city's Rugby Union football club. Plymouth College of Further Education is located there.

The Torpoint Ferry service across the River Tamar operates from Devonport.
