Outer Bailey Gallipoli Block

The Outer Bailey Gallipoli Block is a regimental canteen that now serves as civilian and army offices. It was built in 1829, with extensive alterations and extensions made in 1876, and additional modifications in the 20th century. The building features English bond brickwork beneath a graduated Welsh slate roof, with 19th-century ridge and end brick chimney stacks. Originally a single-storey structure with six bays, it has been raised to two storeys and now has eleven bays in total. Porches at bays three and nine have round-headed blind arches, and the facing returns include plank doors. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are set in brick reveals with stone sills and lintels; bay three is blank on the first floor. A central painted stone panel on the upper level is inscribed with "GALLIPOLI," one of the battle honours of the Border Regiment. The return walls feature external stone steps leading to the upper floor, with plank doors in brick surrounds. The interior was not inspected. Canteens in garrisons were abolished in 1871, and the Carlisle Journal from 1876 notes that T.B. Nelson of Carlisle was the contractor for the extensions. The building is included for its group value.
