This boundary stone, engraved with an anchor and #8 is alongside the Command House pub. The building was once the residence of the Senior Storekeeper of Gun Wharf, a hugely important area in the early 19th century close to the naval dockyard. The area of Gun Wharf was used to store ordnance and overhaul cannon from ships of the Royal Navy. It became just another Government office building in the 1950's and eventually sold off in the late 1970's to a pub chain.
