Shotley Point Napoleonic Gun Battery, HMS Ganges, Suffolk.

HMSGanges #Shotley #MilitaryHistory The construction of Shotley gun battery began in 1861, in an attempt to improve upon the Napoleonic defences of Orwell Haven. Completed in 1865, the battery housed 14 x 68 pounder guns. The battery was intended as a supplementary defence, and was never intended to be permanently manned. Instead it was maintained and staffed by permanent staff at Harwich, except in times of emergency when artillery volunteers would man the guns. A navy hospital was established on Shotley Point in 1902, and with the transfer of HMS Ganges from Ipswich to Shotley in 1905, the area became the location of a 'boys training base'. The guns were removed in 1911, and the south-east corner of the battery levelled to provide space for the training camp accommodation blocks. Please Also Check Out..
