4-pane overlights, each in ashlar architrave with piers,

1st-floor band. Above each door a tripartite window with

HISTORY: the barracks were originally part of the army's
Anglesea Barracks and were incorporated into the first naval
barracks HMS Victory in 1899. An interesting example of a
large mid C19 barracks, and one of the few that remain from
immediately before the Crimean War.
