Description

Building 37 at Fulwood Barracks is a store constructed between 1842 and 1848. It is made of sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof with a single-depth plan. The building is a single storey with a nine-window range and has coped end gables. The front is symmetrical, showcasing segmental-arched openings, a central doorway with an ashlar surround and a nine-pane overlight, along with a 20th-century door and horned six-over-six pane sash windows. The left-hand gable includes a similar doorway to the left and a single window.

This building is part of a group of structures built against the perimeter wall, typically used for fodder, forges, and equipment storage, 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 Barracks the most complete surviving example in England of late 18th-century barracks design.
