dc.description.abstract	The study of architectural history during the British colonial period in Malta has been rather sparse and has not attracted the same attention as the architectural legacy of the Order of St John in Malta (1530–1798). This monograph focuses on the work of William Scamp, an architect in the employment of the British Admiralty. Although Scamp’s architectural career in Malta was limited to a fouryear period 1841–1844, his achievements were considerable. He pioneered the establishment of the British naval yard in Dockyard Creek by the construction of the first dry-dock on the island and an imposing Naval Bakery that serviced the entire British fleet in the Mediterranean.
