HistoryThe barracks were created by converting some late-18th century warehouses into military accommodation in 1825[1] and were enhanced to create officers' quarters for regiments in transit for operations overseas in 1856.[2] The barracks were named at that time after Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge who had recently died.[3] In January 1887 there was a serious gas explosion at the site in which five members of the Worcestershire Regiment died and fourteen were injured.[4][5] The 1st Battalion, the Northumberland Fusiliers was in transit at the barracks when the First World War broke out in August 1914.[6] The barracks became disused and fell derelict after the First World War,[4] and the site was acquired by Portsmouth Grammar School in 1926.[7] References1. ^{{NHLE|desc=Outbuildings to South West of Portsmouth Grammar School|num=1333200|accessdate=17 September 2017}} 2. ^{{NHLE|desc=Portsmouth Grammar School and attached railings|num=1333199|accessdate=17 September 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://historyinportsmouth.co.uk/opp/high-street-east/pgs.htm|title=Cambridge Barracks|accessdate=17 September 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=rDMqDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT57&lpg=PT57&dq=Cambridge+Barracks,+Portsmouth&source=bl&ots=x0A9zBXizH&sig=UtqeExsVhUV6XNUGz5udYh_7Q_I&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjh0dSky6zWAhVFAcAKHeBcAGo4ChDoAQg5MAQ#v=onepage&q=Cambridge%20Barracks%2C%20Portsmouth&f=false|title=Portsmouth in 50 Buildings|first= Garth |last=Groombridge|publisher=Amberley Publishing|year=2017|isbn=978-1445664064}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.worcestershireregiment.com/wr.php?main=inc/articles|title=Explosion of gas at Cambridge Barracks, Portsmouth (1887)|publisher=Worcestershire Regiment|accessdate=17 September 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/lifestyle/first-alnwick-man-to-fall-in-the-war-1-6656136|title=First Alnwick man to fall in the war|date=7 June 2014|publisher=Northumberland Gazette|accessdate=17 September 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/heritage/derelict-barracks-was-sold-to-become-leading-school-1-4470680|title=Derelict barracks was sold to become leading school|publisher=Portsmouth|date=13 November 2012|accessdate=17 September 2017}} Further reading
