Full Description
Summarised from report:
Between 1860 and 1870 a bread and meat store was constructed (alongside a variety of other structures) on the rising ground to the south of the casemated barracks at the South Front Barracks. The ground plan reveals that this building was similar to another (demolished) example at the Grand Shaft Barracks and to one still standing in Dover Castle. As such, it was probably a small rectangular brick building with a slate roof, well-ventilated and with a veranda for air and shade. A plan dating to 1898 shows that it was located between the stables and the straw store, with Citadel Road on its northern side. (1) Nothing is extant above ground, though the site is not built over.
