Summary
In the area immediately to the south of the inner bailey of Dover Castle, at the former site of the southern (medieval) barbican, was the large three storey building of the married soldiers quarters. These were constructed in 1858-1860 as part of a generous scheme of expansion and modernisation undertaken within the castle during and after the Crimean War (1853-1856) and were demolished in 1964 after the military occupation of the castle ceased in 1963.
