The Gates to 'Hell'
I remember Shotley Gate 1954/55. I wish I could erase it from my memory. 12 months of sheer Hell at the infamous Ganges. I enjoyed my Naval Service and I did well, but Ganges almost defeated me. I danced a jig when they demolished the place!

RE: RE: The Gates to 'Hell'
In 2009 the buildings which formed H.M.S 'Ganges' are in a sorry state, but it was not demolished! The mast still proudly stands looking out over the Stour and Orwell estuaries. It would need considerable finances to enable a future - the challenge is there.
