Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox military installation Caterham Barracks was a military installation in Caterham, Surrey.

History

The barracks were built as a depot for the Foot Guards regiments in 1877.[1] The construction reflected a more humane style of barrack design in the aftermath of the Crimean War; the barrack blocks included better sanitation as well as cross-ventilation and cross-lighting of sleeping facilities for the first time.[2] A local public house (the Caterham Arms) which was frequented by soldiers was targeted by the IRA with a bomb injuring 23 civilians and 10 off-duty soldiers in August 1975.[3] The barracks were closed in 1995 and the site was redeveloped for housing using urban village principles after planning consent was given in June 1990.[4]
