Description
A programme of building recording (English Heritage Level 3) was carried out by the Colchester Archaeological Trust of six former buildings located in Garrison Alienated Land Area K1, in the southern part of the decommissioned Cavalry Barracks, at Colchester Garrison, in advance of residential conversion.
The buildings date from the early 1860s to the latter half of the 20th century. None of the buildings are listed but they include some of the last examples of post-Crimean War innovative barracks design first developed at Aldershot. The majority of the original internal fixtures and fittings have been removed or altered, and three of the buildings have been partially demolished. These alterations have had a significant impact upon the functionality of the buildings as originally designed.
