HistoryThe barracks were built to provide living accommodation for infantry units and were completed in 1886.[1] It was in effect an extension to Clarence Barracks and shared the same parade ground: the first unit to arrive was the 1st Battalion, the South Lancashire Regiment.[1] The central tower was hit by a bomb and seriously damaged during the Second World War.[2] After the war the barracks were taken over by the Royal Navy and eventually demolished in 1967.[2] The site was subsequently developed for residential use and is now known as Pembroke Park.[3] References1. ^1 Smythies, p. 438 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/heritage/barracks-tower-hit-1-3927510|title=Barracks tower hit|publisher=The News|date=8 June 2012|accessdate=23 September 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/heritage/fond-memories-for-barry-on-his-return-to-barracks-1-5216599|title=Fond memories for Barry on his return to barracks|date=23 June 2013|publisher=The News|accessdate=23 September 2017}} Sources
