Questions about The Old Barracks
Is The Old Barracks on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 21803006).
Can you visit The Old Barracks?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was The Old Barracks built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1860–1880.
Is The Old Barracks protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
