Description
The railings on the south side of the green to the east of Naval Terrace were constructed between 1824 and 1827. They are made of cast iron and feature spear-headed designs, extending approximately 100 meters along the southern edge of the triangular green. These railings were laid out alongside the officers' Naval Terrace and the Dockyard Church, which are located at the southern end of the dockyard. Unlike other royal dockyards, Sheerness was entirely rebuilt at the same time, forming part of the well-preserved southeast corner of Rennie's model layout, which includes the entrance, chapel, and officers' accommodation, as well as a uniquely planned early 19th-century dockyard.
