Wellington Court (formerly Red Barracks) is a former
History
Red Barracks were first conceived and built as cavalry barracks in 1795–6.
The main three-story block is to the southwest of where the parade ground was located.[2] It is a long rectangular building with four doorways facing what was the parade ground. There are sash windows.[1]
There is a plan of the barracks dating from 1907 in the UK National Archives.[4] The site was sold in 1984 for subsequent redevelopment as Wellington Court.[5]
The site is located on Barrack Road, which leads to Nothe Fort.[6] Weymouth Peace Garden (formerly a burial ground) is located immediately adjacent to the site and Nothe Gardens are close by to the location.[7]
