This must be for a King George V-class battleship, the only British battleships in World War II to mount quadruple turrets.

Thanks Iain. Strangely enough my colleague, Colin, said exactly the same thing just moments before your comment arrived.

Its one of King George V's turrets which was lead ship of the class that was built at Walker Naval yard (below). Mounting 10 of these 14 inch guns. These quadruple mounts were very complex.
These very guns contributed to the sinking of the KMS Bismark in May 1941.
