TQ 9175 SW MAIN ROAD Sheerness Dockyard 933/2/93 Wall extending approx 70m 15.03.1977 enclosing garden to S of Dockyard House

GV II

Garden wall. c1829-33, by George Ledwell Taylor, architect to the Navy Board, and Sir John Rennie Snr, engineer. Yellow stock brick with ashlar coping. Encloses former Commissioner's rear garden, with a segmental-arched doorway in the side, and related to the dockyard perimeter wall (qv). HISTORY: unlike the other Royal dockyards, Sheerness was all rebuilt at the same time. Within the little-altered SE corner of Rennie's model layout, containing the entrance, chapel and officers' accommodation, and part of a unique planned early C19 dockyard.
