Report - RAOC Barracks Marchington - April 21

[userleename]

There are various reports on this & @MotionlessMike has a lot of information about this place. I went here on my day trip of exploring, didn’t even plan to come here we found it on the off chance but it definitely didn’t disappoint.

The views from inside over the other buildings are incredible

Incredible spelling here

Not a bad set there. The place looks huge. Wouldnt mind a few more of your photos, I know its been covered before, but sometimes someone just manages to shoot something that hasnt been posted before. Good stuff. Just needs a wee bit of self written history & mth & yr in title and this is golden

Thankyou very much, it is a huge place, there’s about 8 different buildings but some of them are inaccessible. I might add a bit of history in the post to be honest, but I appreciate the feedback

Edited Tile - But needs a bit of history added

Not been here for decades!

Am I right in saying that it's only the Accommodation Blocks (St Barbara's Barracks) that remain in the camp?
I am surprised that they do remain a the main Cookhouse and HQ building were demolished!

There is a lot more of the Vehicle Depot (CVD Marchington) next door remaining as it was rebuilt as a industrial estate.

I’m not actually sure tbh, I think it is just the accommodation blocks remaining, they’re all identical buildings. We drove to the industrial estate next door & couldn’t see any other abandoned buildings.

That will be the Six Accommodation Blocks then! as that was how many there were..
