Wavenmere Homes and Galliard Homes have begun their 18-month restoration process of its Grade II Listed Mast at its Barrelman’s Point development, which is on the Shotley Peninsula, in Ipswich, Suffolk.

A bit of History…

The 142ft landmark iron, steel, and timber mast, which dates back to 1865, was originally erected in 1907 where the 74 gun 18th century ship HMS Ganges had stood, before retiring to Chatham Dockyard in Kent two years prior.

A ceremony took place in Summer 2022 to commemorate the last time the mast was manned, which was on 6th June 1974.
