Historic Royal Navy Rum Store Restoration Moves to Next Phase
The £22 million regeneration of the Grade II listed former Royal Navy Rum Store at Victoria Quay, Gosport, will advance to its next major phase of restoration in October.
This stage marks the beginning of a more extensive external transformation, setting the building on a path to have its second floor replaced, repointing the external elevations, running all services and readying the entire historic site for a new use as commercial office, retail, and leisure space, with core completion scheduled for spring 2028.
