1023/7/10004 Former Armoury, Fulwood Barracks 29.3.1982

GV II

Detention block, now armoury. 1842-1848, Major T Foster RE, for the Ordnance Board. Sandstone ashlar with ashlar right-hand end and front lateral stacks and slate roof. Single-depth plan with rear right-hand projection. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 7-window range. Entrance front has a doorway 2 bays from the right with a plain surround with steps up to a C20 door with blocked overlight; 2 small left-hand and a larger right-hand window blocked, and flat-headed first-floor 6/6-pane sashes. Rear has shallow 1-window projection with blocked doorway, and a range of small cell windows, 6 on the ground floor with a window to the left all blocked, 7 on the first floor with small panes, and a left-hand 6/6-pane sash. The left-hand return has steps up to a first-floor C20 door, the right-hand return has a lower projection with raking roof and steps up to a C20 door. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORY: the barracks was built in response to anxiety over Chartist agitation. Although the south-east range has been lost, the original plan of 2 parade squares within a fortified perimeter wall is substantially intact, making Fulwood the most complete surviving example in England of the late eighteenth century concept of barrack design.
