Full Description
Summarised from report:
Most of the original ancillary structures, comprising stores, canteens, workshops, gardens etc. stood on terraces to the west of the main steps. Included within this group of ancillery buildings was a School Masters Quarters. This building subsequently contained accomodation for a Staff Sergeant. Nothing is visible on the surface but behind the site is the terrace revetment, up to 2.25m high and predominanlt battered, in yellow stock brick laid to English bond. (1)
The earliest plan which shows the completed Napoleonic works which were undertaken at the Grand Shaft Barracks dates to 1810. (2) A later plan which dates to 1861, immediately prior to the 1860's scheme of works which were undertaken at the barracks site, gives further detail of the buildings constructed during the Napoleonic works, including lables of specific buildings.
