HistoryThe barracks, which were built about half a mile south of Fort Burgoyne, were completed in July 1913.[1] During the First World War the barracks were used for the assembly of large quantities of men and supplies ready for shipment across the channel to the Western Front.[2] A major project to rebuild the barracks, which took two years to complete and was undertaken by C Jenner & Sons Ltd, was finished in 1962.[3] The Queen's Lancashire Regiment was formed at the barracks in March 1970.[4] The 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment arrived at the barracks in July 1995[5] and was replaced by the 1st Battalion the Parachute Regiment in August 2000:[6] the 1st Battalion continued to occupy the site until the barracks closed in March 2006.[7] Plans to use the barracks as an open prison[8] were dropped in November 2006[9] and the site is now being redeveloped for housing.[10] References1. ^Dover Express, 11 July 1913 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.richardgilbert.ca/achart/public_html/articles/york/burgoyne.htm|title=Castle Hill fort|first=Richard|last=Gilbert|publisher=Duke of York's Royal Military School|accessdate=3 December 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://jenner-group.co.uk/history/|title=History|publisher=Jenner Group|accessdate=3 December 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lancashireinfantrymuseum.org.uk/the-regiments/|title=Queen’s Lancashire Regiment|publisher=Lancashire Infantry Museum|accessdate=3 December 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/infantry/parachute-regiment-2/parachute-regiment-3rd-bn.html|title=3rd Bn Parachute Regiment|publisher=British Army units 1945 on|accessdate=3 January 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/infantry/parachute-regiment-2/parachute-regiment.html|title=1st Bn Parachute Regiment|publisher=British Army units 1945 on|accessdate=3 January 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4790512.stm|title=Barracks leave Army legacy behind|publisher=BBC|date=10 March 2006|accessdate=3 January 2015}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/5367478.stm|title=Barracks will become open prison|date=21 September 2006|publisher=bbc.co.uk|accessdate=25 March 2014}} 9. ^{{cite news|first=Alan| last=Travis|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/nov/11/ukcrime.prisonsandprobation|title=Reid abandons plan to put 500 prisoners in barracks |newspaper=The Guardian|date=11 November 2006|accessdate=25 March 2014}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.investindover.co.uk/News/2014/HCA-consults-on-pre-application-plans-for-development-of-former-Connaught-Barracks-site-.aspx|title=Public consultation on pre-application plans for former Connaught Barracks site|publisher= Invest in Dover|date=7 November 2014|accessdate=3 December 2015}} 2 : Barracks in England|Installations of the British Army |
