Description
Building 32 at Fulwood Barracks is a store constructed between 1842 and 1848. It is made of sandstone rock-faced ashlar and has a slate roof, featuring a single-depth plan. The building is a single storey with a nine-window range and has coped end gables. The front is symmetrical with segmental-arched openings. There are central and outer doorways located one bay from the ends, with the middle doorway blocked and framed in ashlar, featuring nine-pane overlights and 20th-century doors. The windows are home to 6/6-pane sashes. On the left-hand gable, there is a central blocked doorway with an ashlar surround and flanking sashes, while the right-hand window was formerly a doorway. The interior has not been inspected.
Historically, this building is one of several constructed against the perimeter wall, typically used for storing fodder, forges, and equipment. The barracks were built in response to concerns over Chartist agitation. Although the south-east barrack range has been lost, the original layout of two parade squares within a fortified perimeter wall remains largely intact, making Fulwood the most complete surviving example in England of late 18th-century barracks design.
