Description
The boundary wall at Sheerness Dockyard, built around 1824 to 1831 by engineer Sir John Rennie, is constructed of yellow stock brick with a granite plinth and coping. This tall wall features a band of granite ashlar, with shallow buttresses that divide it into square panels. It extends approximately 510 meters northwest from the Main Gate and meets the Boat Basin, with an interruption at the Jetty Road entrance. This wall was built to enclose Rennie's complete rebuilding of the Sheerness yard in the 1820s and is part of a group with the boundary wall to the south.
