At the west end, adjoining the Langsett Road entrance, an octagonal crenellated tower, 2 storeys, with rifle slits on each floor. T o east, a rectangular projection enclosing the barrack store, with a similar tower in the centre of the long side. Approx 300m long. On the inner side, remains of single storey service buildings, some partly demolished. Towers contain stone spiral stairs. HISTOR Y: Built as a defensible barracks due to anxiety over civil unrest. One of the earliest instances of historicist barracks style, following the contextual Tower of London Barracks, (1845). Despite conversion, much of the original site survives, including barracks, stables, magazine and guard house (qqv).
