Description
The Former Weedon Barracks, Storehouse Number 3, is a Grade II* listed warehouse built between 1804 and 1810, located on the west side of Bridge Street in Lower Weedon. It is part of a unique planned military-industrial complex situated north of the canal. The building is constructed of Flemish bond red brick, featuring gauged brick dressings around the arches, and has a hipped corrugated asbestos roof that replaced the original M-shaped Welsh roof. Late 19th-century brick stacks were added for the ground-floor armoury around 1888.
The storehouse has a rectangular plan with a central vestibule that includes stairs leading to flanking storerooms. It stands two storeys high and has an 11-window range on the south elevation facing the canal. The central entrance consists of 12-panel double-leaf doors flanked by stone pilasters that support a Doric entablature, with cambered arches over tripartite sash windows above. There are similar wider blocked doorways at either end, with matching windows above. The ground-floor features semi-circular arched windows, which are 2-light wooden casements from the late 19th century, set within semi-circular arched recesses. The first floor has late 19th-century horned 6/6-pane sash windows. The centre and ends of the building project slightly, and there is a plinth and a first-floor string course.
Inside, the first floor is supported by three rows of chamfered timber posts with pillow beams. Steel trusses were introduced in 1938 when the roofs were remodeled. The open string staircase has chamfered and scroll-stopped newels, diamond-set balusters, and a moulded handrail. Access to the storerooms is provided by semi-circular arched doorways set in semi-circular arched recesses. The vestibule floor is stone-flagged and includes a length of 18-inch gauge tramway.
This storehouse is part of a larger military complex that includes its own defensible transport system and surrounding walls. For more details, refer to the description of Storehouse Number 2.
