HistoryThe barracks were built between 1877 and 1881 and initially included a hospital, married quarters, stabling and stores.[1] Their creation took place as part of the Cardwell Reforms which encouraged the localisation of British military forces.[2] The barracks became the depot for the 43rd (Monmouthshire) Regiment of Foot and the 53rd (Shropshire) Regiment of Foot.[3] Following the Childers Reforms, the 53rd (Shropshire) Regiment of Foot amalgamated with the 85th Regiment of Foot (Bucks Volunteers) to form the King's Shropshire Light Infantry with its depot in the barracks in 1881.[4] The barracks went on to become the regional centre for infantry training as the Light Infantry Brigade Depot in 1960.[5] In 1972 the West Midlands District was established with headquarters at Copthorne Barracks.[6] In the early 1980s West Midlands District became "Western District".[7] In 1991, the first of the minor districts to be amalgamated were North West District, the former West Midlands District (by then Western District) and Wales, to form a new Wales and Western District.[8] The enlarged district was disbanded on the formation of HQ Land Command in 1995.[9] The King's Shropshire Light Infantry museum was first established at Copthorne Barracks but moved to Shrewsbury Castle in 1985.[10] Copthorne Barracks was also the headquarters of the 5th Infantry Division from 1995 until the division was disbanded in 2012.[11] It was also the administrative headquarters of the British Army's regional 143 (West Midlands) Brigade until 11 Signal Brigade and 143 (West Midlands) Brigade amalgamated to form 11th Signal Brigade and Headquarters West Midlands in November 2014.[12] Following the amalgamation, the staff moved to Venning Barracks at Donnington, Telford (11 Signal Brigade's base).[13] The barracks also remains the home of two Army Reserve units, E Company, 6th Battalion The Rifles and 202 (Midlands) Field Hospital, whose drill halls are within its perimeter.[14] In November 2014, the Ministry of Defence declared the parts of the barracks left unused by the departure of the 143 Brigade surplus to requirements and officially put it up for sale. The exception is 0.193 hectares of land used by the Army Reserve Centre which will remain Ministry property.[13] In July 2016 the Defence Infrastructure Organisation applied for planning permission to Shropshire Council to demolish 40 buildings at the barracks while retaining boundary walls, prior to sale.[15] The site was sold in May 2018 to builders Bellway Homes who in December 2018 gained approval from Shropshire Council to build 216 homes, and permission to begin demolition work to clear the site.[16] The acquired buildings would be entirely demolished apart from part of the 19th century 'Keep' which will be retained for conversion to apartments. The development will be called Copthorne Keep.[17] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.themountshrewsbury.com/barracks/index.php|title=A Short History of The Copthorne Barracks|accessdate=29 March 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091230061458/http://www.themountshrewsbury.com/barracks/index.php|archivedate=30 December 2009|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9383385/Echoes-of-the-past-in-these-Army-cuts.html|title=Echoes of the past in these Army cuts|date=8 July 2012| accessdate= 13 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/depot/1873.htm |title=Training Depots |publisher=Regiments.org |accessdate=16 October 2016 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060210172841/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/depot/1873.htm |archivedate=10 February 2006 |df= }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2013/06/10/copthorne-barracks-welcomes-veterans-at-reunion/29743450/|title=Copthorne Barracks welcomes veterans at reunion|date=10 June 2013|accessdate=29 March 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/written_answers/1958/mar/07/infantry-brigade-depots-location|title=Infantry Brigade Depots (Location)|publisher=Hansard|date=7 March 1958|accessdate=10 April 2014}} 6. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=l43JDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA104&lpg=PA104&dq=HQ+UK+Land+Forces+1972+9+district+headquarters&source=bl&ots=zuQRUKE98F&sig=mAYrbmeYQvaNvTI27Okad3kLplQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjelKbg8M7fAhXTqHEKHYonBjUQ6AEwBXoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=HQ%20UK%20Land%20Forces%201972%209%20district%20headquarters&f=false|page=104|title=The Statesman's Year-Book 1972-73: The Encyclopaedia for the Businessman-of-The-World|first= J.|last= Paxton|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan UK|year=1972|isbn=978-0-230-27101-2}} 7. ^Army List 1981 8. ^{{cite book|last=Beevor|first=Antony | authorlink = Antony Beevor |year=1991|title= Inside the British Army|page=232|publisher=Transworld Publishers|isbn=978-0552138185}} 9. ^"Land Command Shapes Up", Jane's Defence Weekly, 15 July 1995. 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.search.secretshropshire.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?theme=2015&originator=%2Fengine%2Ftheme%2Fdefault%2Easp&page=25&records=369&direction=1&pointer=17340&text=1&resource=2436|title=Shrewsbury Castle|publisher=Secret Shropshire|accessdate=29 March 2014}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21674085|title=Shrewsbury Copthorne Barracks sees more troops move out|publisher=BBC|date=5 March 2013|accessdate=29 March 2014}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.expressandstar.com/editors-picks/2014/11/18/new-west-midlands-brigade-formed/|title=New West Midlands brigade formed|publisher=Express and Star|date=18 November 2014|accessdate=25 November 2014}} 13. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2014/11/26/parts-of-shrewsburys-copthorne-barracks-to-be-sold-off-by-mod/|title=Parts of barracks to be sold off by MoD|work=Shropshire Star|date=26 November 2014|page=5|first1=Jennifer |last1=Meierhands |first2= Nathan |last2=Rowden|accessdate=27 November 2014}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.alternativevenues.org/wm/AlternativeVenuesDetails/tabid/179/View/116/Default.aspx|title=Copthorne Barracks, Shrewsbury|publisher=Alternative Venues|accessdate=29 March 2014}} 15. ^{{cite news|title=Demolition of army buildings|work=Shropshire Star|date=30 July 2016|page=1}}News Briefing column. 16. ^{{cite news|title=Hard to recognise barracks now|work=Shropshire Star|date=21 January 2019|page=1}} 17. ^{{cite news|title=Diggers move in at historic military base|work=Shropshire Star|date=21 January 2019|page=2}} 3 : Barracks in England|Installations of the British Army|Shrewsbury |
