ROYAL DOCKYARD

GOSCHEN YARD

Updated:  05 September 2011 

During the 1950s an area of Keyham Barton previously the site of Goschen and Hamilton Streets, and Spencer Avenue, was taken over for the Main Electrical Factory.  

The first part was opened in 1957, the second in 1963, when the name Goschen Yard was selected for it.  Lord Goschen had been First Lord of the Admiralty in 1871.
