HistoryThe barracks were established in 1939, at the start of the Second World War, under the name of Quebec Barracks as the depot for the Northamptonshire Regiment whose previous depot at Gibraltar Barracks was becoming inadequate.[1] The Northamptonshire Regiment remained at the barracks until it merged with the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment to form the 2nd East Anglian Regiment (Duchess of Gloucester's Own Royal Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire) in 1960. The Royal Pioneer Corps moved to the barracks in 1960, at which time the barracks were renamed Simpson Barracks after General Sir Frank Simpson who served as colonel commandant of the Royal Pioneer Corps.[2] The Corps remained there until they were amalgamated with our units to form the Royal Logistic Corps and the barracks closed in 1993.[3] The site was redeveloped for housing in the late 1990s.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://simpsonwatch.wordpress.com/about/|title=About Simpson Manor|publisher=Simpson Manor Neighbourhood Watch|accessdate=8 November 2014}} 2. ^{{London Gazette|issue=39863|supp=y|page=2948|date=1 June 1953}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/crime/soldiers-who-started-careers-in-northampton-recognised-with-plaque-at-former-barracks-1-3007745|title=Soldiers who started careers in Northampton recognised with plaque at former barracks|publisher=Northampton Chronicle|date=29 August 2011|accessdate=8 November 2014}} 2 : Installations of the British Army|Barracks in England |
