NT 25068 73477 A programme of historic building recording was required as a condition of Scheduled Monument Consent in February 2004 along two walls of the fourth floor of the 52 Infantry Brigade building or 'New Barracks' (NT27SE 1.37), prior to the knocking through of two doorways and a wall to create a new museum. Plaster was stripped from the area where the doorways were to be knocked through, exposing a coursed red sandstone rubble wall in both cases, and the remains of a removed fireplace. Historical research was also carried out, but no original plans or information relating to the early function of the building were located.
