One panel of a wooden shutter covered in cracked paint. The panel is typical of nineteenth century architecture in being a flat rectangular central surface surrounded by mouldings and an outer frame, all in the same proportions. The moulding consists of two runs of beading with different profiles with a narrow flat surface between them. The peeling paint reveals several layers, the base being a dark green colour that may be a primer. Then there is a yellow or dark cream on top and finally a once white top coat. Weak sun shines through the adjacent window to the right casting a diagonal shadow across the shutter. The panel is in one of several buildings that once made up the Royal William Victualling Yard for the Royal Navy. It is in the later process of renovation and conversion to residential and business units, but is also open to the public. This room houses an exhibition about the Yard and its history. The shutters may well have been intentionally 'distressed'.
