Hadleigh, Deanery Tower 1922

More about this scene
The Village c1955 Shotley Gate, at the very end of the Shotley Peninsula, was home to the former HMS 'Ganges', the Royal Navy's training school. This shore establish- ment gave its young recruits a stiff taste of discipline to fit them for their careers in the Navy. Each boy would be required to climb the 150ft high mast from HMS 'Cordelia', and every year, cadets at the passing-out ceremony had to climb the rigging, the pride of place going to the 'button boy', who perched on the elev- en-inch diameter top of the mast.
