| HMS Ganges Gate |  |
|
| Off Bristol Hill (East side), Shotley (TM23SW) | Grade II | |
| In
February 2005, we were informed by The HMS Ganges Association that
the gates have been given listed status at Grade 2. The citation
in part reads: 'HMS Ganges finally closed in 1976 after some 150,000 boys had passed through these famous gates, 'leaving by the Main Gate' being the symbolic honourable departure from the establishment. All the boys had also regularly climbed the nearby Ceremonial Mast with which these gates form a significant group. As well as this considerable historic interest, these gates, of fine quality in themselves, have the added interest of the monogram of Edward VII, unusual because of His Majesty's short reign' |
