Full Description
Historic building recording was carried out on four grade II-listed army buildings before conversion works took place: stable block A, the canteen/sergeant’s mess, adult school and riding school. The survey followed on from a similar survey of stable block B (Letch 2007 EHER) and a site assessment carried out by Ingram Consultancy (2000).
All except for the riding school are remains of the Le Cateau Barracks, originally the Royal Artillery Barracks, built 1874-75. The officer’s mess is also listed but is yet to be converted. The riding school was part of the Cavalry Barracks, the first permanent barrack built in Colchester, built 1862-64. <1>
