Devonport, England

Devonport, England, originally Plymouth Dock, is nowadays a district of Plymouth, in Devon, although it was at one time the more important settlement.

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

As a town, Devonport has its own centre, a swimming pool, a park and brickfields with a sports ground. Plymouth College of Further Education is located there.
