Shotley Battery

Shotley Battery was built in 1865 on the Shotley Peninsula to guard the port of Felixstowe, within HMS Ganges Naval Training school, on the same site as an existing Martello Tower. Originally with 14 64 pound guns, it has suffered much damage since HMS Ganges closed, and became a police training centre which has in turn closed.
