| Full Description: The South Cavalry Barracks were built in 1855-1856 and renamed Beaumont Barracks in 1909. They stood on a site between Alexandra Road and Farnborough Road. The barrack block housed cavalrymen on the first floor, in accomodation reached from the outside by steps and a wide balcony, and stabling for their horses on the ground floor.
The barracks were demolished in the 1970s and a major housing development, Beaumont Park, built on the site. A few of the original Victorian buildings were retained. Part of the old Riding School was converted into sheltered accommodation for the elderly in the first years of the 21st century. |
