[QUOTE="baulky, post: 21486, member: 3065"] hi there guys im new to this site (just joined) was wondering if anyone has any recent info to do with the barracks ? i have been around this place quite a few times as its pritty close to me (for anyone who hasnt its definately worth a look !) i was up there recently and in the grounds was workmen with a d9 they were clearing back the overgrown vegitation from around the buildings and also clearing all the pathways ! does anyone have any info as to what they are doing with the place ? i have been scouring the local papers and council planning website and cant find anything ! also if anyone has any ideas about who owns the site it would be much appreciated (if anyone would like to meet up for another look drop us a line) thanks :D update visited on the 14.12.06 not good news the site has undergone major work - the boiler houses canteen block and associated outbuildings have all been demolished ! all that remains is the 6 barrack blocks , these have all had the ground floor windows and doors boarded up (with a rarther expensive looking metal mesh type of boarding) the main entrances to the buildings have also had heavy looking steel doors fitted. also why i was visiting workmen were constructing a huge (and rarther expensive looking !) perimiter fence surrounding all 6 of the blocks. someone has been spending a lot of money on this place with the fences and boarding it seems in an effort to protect the buildings. perhaps for a possible renovation or change of use ? anybody got any info ? either way access to the buildings is now limited but you can still walk around the outside of the fence. (its only a couple of meters from the nearest building) so there it is if anyone has any info ? cheers rich [/QUOTE]
