The Old Barracks is a former military installation in Barrack Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, England. It is a Grade II listed building. [1]
The building was designed in the Italianate style as a barracks for the North Staffordshire Militia and completed in 1855. [1] It was initially used by G Company of the 2nd Staffordshire Rifle Volunteer Corps [2] which evolved to become The King's Own (3rd Staffordshire) Rifles Militia before being renamed the 4th (Militia) Battalion in 1881. [3] The building was acquired by Major W. H. Dalton, of the Staffordshire Rangers, and placed in trust for military use in 1882. [4] The unit evolved to become G Company of the 5th Battalion of the North Staffordshire Regiment in 1908. [5] The building continued to be used by Territorial Army units until after the Second World War; since the 1950s the building has been used by Remploy as workshops for disabled people. [4]
