GV II
Barrack block, disused. 1856-59. Yellow stock brick with lateral stacks and a flat roof. Single-depth axial plan. EXTERIOR: Single storey and basement; 5:5:5-window range. Symmetrical front with a ground-floor band, cornice and parapet; entrances in the ends and dividing the front into 3 sections, the middle one with blind windows, front entrances have margin and overlights to C20 doors, with stairs bridging the basement area. Rubbed brick heads to 6/6-pane sashes to both levels. INTERIOR: Not inspected; reported to contain separate apartments for married soldiers. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: Attached cast-iron railings with panels with diagonal bars to entrance stairs and around basement areas. HISTORY: Believed to
have been married quarters. The barracks were a transit station for infantry built after the Crimean War. They were designed to be bomb-proof, against mortar attack, because of their site just inside the Gosport Lines. This is the only example of this type of barracks in the country, forming a complete group with the Lines earthworks, and marking Gosport's importance in the defences around the Portsmouth dockyard.
