Name: Devonport 200 exhibition @ The Box
Start: 2024-11-23T11:00:00Z
End: 2024-11-23T14:00:00Z

2024 is the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of Devonport. During those 200 years, the community has experienced profound change; moving from a hugely prosperous, independent town to becoming part of the City of Plymouth; experiencing devastation following extensive bombing in World War II; and major transformation through regeneration of the last two decades.

Devonport 200 marks the moment, exploring multiple and diverse histories, recognising the many achievements, celebrating local communities, and looking forward to future opportunities and challenges.
The Box holds over 20,000 objects related to Devonport. Displayed across multiple spaces at The Box, our contribution to Devonport 200 explores some of the complex history of the place.
In Active Archives, **Celebrate Devonport** explores stories connected to Devonport that have made a positive difference in people’s lives. It features highlights from our archives, art and social history collections, including early objects relating to the change of name from Plymouth Dock to Devonport, explorations of the life and work of Bill Miller, and celebrated locations.
