Cambridge Barracks : 91�Թ��, Aiming to capture all memorials in London

Building From 1808 To 1972

Cambridge Barracks

First built in 1808, the barracks housed the Royal Marines. Rebuilt 1842-8. With the closing of Woolwich Dockyard the Woolwich Division of the Royal Marines was disbanded in 1869. The Royal Marine Barracks were then renamed Cambridge Barracks, after Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces. They were used by the British Army as additional troop accommodation but by 1972 they were not needed and were demolished.

Only the gatehouse and its flanking pavilions survive. The rest of the site has been converted to residential use.

This photo shows the barracks in 1909.
