Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

Summary Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works, to carry out a programme of historic building recording of selected buildings and building components to be demolished at three Army bases in Wiltshire (Tidworth Barracks, Bulford Camp and Larkhill Camp and Aldershot Garrison in Hampshire in advance of development.

A previous phase 1 assessment of the building targeted for demolition identified those buildings worthy of preservation by record and provided recommendations for phase 2 programme of building recording commensurate with English Heritage guidelines. At Bulford Camp, there were 25 buildings to be demolished of which nine were recommended for recording. Four of the selected buildings were recommended for a Level 1 basic visual record and the other five recommended for a Level 2 descriptive record.

The building recording for all the sites occurred in November and December 2014, prior to the commencement of development. A separate report has been produced for each camp and garrison.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project background 1.1.1 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works (hereafter ‘the Client’), to carry out a programme of historic building recording of selected buildings and building components to be demolished at three Army bases in Wiltshire (Tidworth Barracks, Bulford Camp and Larkhill Camp (hereafter ‘Salisbury Plain Camps’)) and Aldershot Garrison in Hampshire, in advance of development.

1.1.2 The development proposals include the demolition of 91 redundant buildings and structures as part of the Army Basing Programme (ABP), which will involve the construction of numerous new facilities, including stores, workshops and accommodation.

1.1.3 A previous Phase 1 Building Assessment (Wessex Archaeology 2014) identified the buildings and building components considered worthy of ‘preservation by record’ and recommended an appropriate level of record. In addition to the structures at Aldershot Garrison and the three Salisbury Plain camps identified above, five buildings and structures to be demolished at Perham Down Camp were also assessed. However, due to their recent construction and mass-produced form, none were considered worthy of recording.

1.1.4 The Historic Building Record for each of the Salisbury Plain Camps (Tidworth, Bulford, Larkhill) and Aldershot Garrison has been produced as separate reports, as specified by the Client. The subject of this report is Bulford Camp.

1.2 The Site 1.2.1 Bulford Camp (Figure 1), is one of the main military facilities contained within the Defence Training Estates on Salisbury Plain. Bulford Camp is sited to the east of Bulford village, approximately 3km north-east of Amesbury and c.13km north of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

1.2.2 The camp, which comprises an irregular parcel of land of approximately 120 hectares (ha), contains a considerable number of structures, including accommodation blocks, messing and recreation amenities, stores, technical support, administration and training facilities. The camp also contains numerous parcels of open ground interspersed amongst and at the peripheries of the developed areas.

1.2.3 The military facility is self-contained, and is set amid a patchwork of arable fields, pasture, undeveloped grassland and plantations.

1.2.4 Bulford Camp is located on gently sloping ground, at the foot of, and overlooked by Beacon Hill. Within the camp the ground slopes evenly from east-west, dropping from c.130m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) to c.95m aOD.

2 PHASE 1 BUILDING ASSESSMENT RESULTS

2.1 Introduction 2.1.1 The development works for the ABP comprise the demolition of 91 existing buildings and replacement/construction of new facilities at all of the five camps. There are 52 buildings and structures at Larkhill Camp to be demolished.

2.1.2 A visual assessment of the buildings and structures due for demolition at the Salisbury Plain Camps was made on the 10th and 12th June 2014 by a buildings archaeologist from Wessex Archaeology.

2.2 Bulford Camp assessment 2.2.1 At Bulford Camp, there are 25 buildings to be demolished of which 9 were recommended for phase 2 archaeological recording. Four of the selected buildings were recommended for a Level 1 (basic visual) record and the other five recommended for a more detailed Level 2 (descriptive) record. The criteria for selection are discussed in detail the assessment report (Wessex Archaeology 2014).

3 METHODOLOGY

3.1 Aims and objectives 3.1.1 The aims and objectives of the Phase 2 Historic Building Record were to create a record of the selected buildings to be demolished that had been identified as worthy of ‘preservation by record’ in the earlier assessment report.

3.2 Fieldwork methodology 3.2.1 The levels of record recommended in the Phase 1 Building Assessment are commensurate with Levels 1-4 as described in the English Heritage guidance document ‘Understanding Historic Buildings: A guide to good recording practice’ (English Heritage 2006). Levels 1-2 are defined as follows: ‘Level 1 is essentially a basic visual record, supplemented by the minimum of information needed to identify the building’s location, age and type. This is the simplest record…Level 1 surveys will generally be of exteriors only, although they may include superficial interior inspection for significant features.

8 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

3.2.2 Level 2 is a ‘descriptive record…Both the exterior and the interior will be viewed, described and photographed. The record will present conclusions regarding the building’s development and use, but will not discuss in detail the evidence on which these conclusions are based. A plan and sometimes other drawings may be made but the drawn record will normally not be comprehensive and may be tailored to the scope of a wider project.’ (English Heritage 2006, 14)

3.2.3 Both levels of record required photographic survey of the selected buildings, although a drawn record was only required for the buildings selected for Level 2 recording.

3.3 On site recording 3.3.1 Photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera (with 21 megapixel capability). The location and direction of photographs were recorded on plans of the site buildings provided by the Client and each image was recorded on Wessex Archaeology’s pro forma Photographic Record sheets. A scale was included where considered appropriate.

3.4 Documentary Research 3.4.1 To create a fully contextual record and enable the sequence of the individual buildings’ development to be fully appreciated (commensurate with Level 2), a brief background history of the camp and historic mapping is provided, which has been reproduced from the earlier assessment report (Wessex Archaeology 2014).

3.5 Drawn record 3.5.1 There was no requirement for measured survey to be undertaken at Larkhill Camp as recent existing plans (and in some cases additional historic plans) of the buildings to be recorded were provided by the Client. A selection of plans (Figures 5-13) have been included in this report for those buildings recorded to Level 2 standard.

3.6 Site visits 3.6.1 The Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison buildings were recorded on 11th-21st November 2014 by a team of two experienced buildings archaeologists from Wessex Archaeology. For security reasons the staff were accompanied at all times a member of the Aspire Defence team.

4 HISTORIC BACKGROUND

4.1 Bulford Camp 4.1.1 This historic background is intended to provide a context for the individual building descriptions that follow. It has been reproduced from the Phase 1 Building Assessment (Wessex Archaeology 2014).

4.1.2 The War Office first completed the purchase of land at Bulford in March 1898, with the acquisition of the Bulford Manor estate and parts of another estate belonging to Miss Seymour which totalled 1079ha. However, in 1897, prior to the formalisation of these purchases, the 4th Cavalry Brigade had encamped under Beacon Hill. A further 892ha around Brigmerston was purchased in 1899, and in the summer of 1900 an extra 116ha were purchased from Miss Seymour’s estate.

4.1.3 The original encampment was tented and comprised white canvas bell tents. The 1901 Ordnance Survey map distinguishes the site of the camp denoted ‘BULFORD CAMP’, but no camp outline is delineated or depicted (Figure 2). Other changes are 9 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

also limited to the construction of an Engine House and covered reservoir c.60m east of the Site and disappearance of the two short lived east-west tracks between Bulford Penning and Beacon Hill in the southern part of the Site. To the northeast of the Site parts of the original A and B rifle ranges are depicted.

4.1.4 The 1903 Ordnance Survey map of Salisbury Plain (Figure 3) reveals the full extent of the second phase of early 20th century military encampment. The Hutment Barracks or Bulford Hut Barracks has been constructed on both sides of the Bulford road, c.300m south of Sling Plantation. The Hut Barracks encompasses approximately 27ha on the western side of the road and is equal proportioned area on the east. An additional area to the northeast and east of the Hut Barracks, demarcates the limits of an extra part of the military development known as Bulford Camp which was designated for tented accommodation. This area extended beyond the north edge of Sling Plantation, but south of Three Acre Plantation (which first appears on the 1901 survey).

4.1.5 The Hut Barracks comprised structures constructed with wooden walls and framing covered with felt and corrugated iron. Construction of the Hut Barracks began during 1900 and was completed by late 1901. Some of the huts used in the construction of the Hut Barracks may have once originally been destined for service in the Boer War. Brick structures were also constructed during this period and included a number of two-story slate roofed Warrant Officers’ quarters.

4.1.6 Between 1903 and 1906 Bulford was used as a School of Mounted Infantry and in 1905 a number of Artillery Brigades were stationed there. The 1925 Ordnance Survey mapping depicts the Barracks in considerable detail (Figure 4). The majority of the structures within the Lines are small and are probably indicative of the original hutments. There are however a number of notable additions around the periphery of the main Barracks which are situated with the Site boundary, these include on the west side of the Barracks; M.T. Workshops between Amiens Lines and the Rail branch line, Riding Schools (brick built and constructed between 1904 and 1905), to the west of Cambrai Lines, and a large Lorry Shelter and Coal Yard between the Riding.

4.1.7 During WWII Bulford was largely occupied by British Units, although the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps was stationed for a time at Bulford towards the end of 1940. The 1948 Ordnance Survey map shows the camp shortly after WWII when the majority of pre- war structures were still standing (Figure 5).

4.1.8 The 1961 and 1972 Ordnance Survey maps (not reproduced) depict considerable changes to the layout of the Barracks. The majority of the of the structures related to the pre-WWII camp have been removed, however there are a number of notable surviving element of the earlier Barracks, particularly along the western side of the Marlborough Road within Arras, Cambrai and Mon Lines but also within the road facing side of Aisne Lines. On the west side of the Barracks two small groups of the hut structures survive adjacent to Horne Road, and some element of the old Amiens Lines and the two lines of M.T. Workshops survive.

4.1.9 At present, very little remains of the pre-WWII Barracks survive within the Site boundary (Figure 1). Pre-WWII building comprise a number structures concentrated in the areas adjacent to the Marlborough Road, including WD 0 423 (ABF Building), WI 0 257, PC 0 707 (RMP Dogs) and St Georges Church (PC 0 770), and a number of other possible surviving buildings, including KW 0 415 (the Gymnasium) and possibly KW 0 418 (the Beacon Club) on the eastern side of the Barracks, and WI 0 082 (Old School) on the west side of the Barracks. Due to their association with the early development of the camp, some of these structures may be considered to be historically significant. Other surviving 10 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

non-designated structures within the Site which may be considered to be historically significant include the Old Bakery (WD 0 040), the Bulford Study Centre (WD 0 050) and the BSC Annexe (WD 0 82A).

5 BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS

5.1 Introduction 5.1.1 The descriptions of the nine buildings recorded at Bulford Camp are complimentary to and should be seen in conjunction with the photographs and plans of the buildings that appear later in this report.

5.2 WD 0 040: Office/Store (former Bakery) Level of record 5.2.1 Level 2

History 5.2.2 The building appears for the first time on the 1961 Ordnance Survey map of the area and surviving architect’s drawings for the proposed bakery date from August and November 1953. These sources indicate it was constructed at some point between 1953 and 1961. The modernist architectural style is typical of the 1950s.

5.2.3 Architects for the bakery were Brian L. Sutcliffe & Partners based in Southampton. The consulting engineer was Martin I. Addams based at 1 Gower Street, London.

5.2.4 The building is referred to as the ‘Old Bakery’ indicating its former use.

5.2.5 The existing layout of the building retains its original room divisions however, the first floor has been considerably subdivided to create office and store room spaces throughout. Also, the mezzanine has been further subdivided with more offices and toilet facilities created and on the ground floor the north-east side has been partitioned into a reception area, store rooms and offices. The date of these alterations is unknown but the first floor must have been subdivided after the building was no longer used as a bakery.

Description - Exterior 5.2.6 WD 0 040 is centred at Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference (OS NGR) 417878 143970. Plans of the building are presented as Figures 6-10.

5.2.7 The building comprises a large 3 bay rectangular structure of 3-4 storeys that is orientated approximately north-west to south-east along its long axis measuring approximately 38m in length and 26m in width. The building is architecturally interesting with typical 1950s modernist architectural flourishes including a curved profile roof form, continuous ranks of windows, protruding concrete window frames and cantilevered concrete slab cover covered loading bay (Plates 1-4).

5.2.8 Fenestration is regular. The ground floor is lit by continuous ranks of fixed and pivot windows at high level on all sides of the building. In addition, the north-east (front) and south-west (rear) elevations (Plates 1 and 3 respectively) each have a column of two- light, fixed windows with a horizontal pivot window at the top that light each stairwell as well as a row of continuous, high level horizontal pivot windows and a series of three-light casement and awning windows at first floor. The three-light casement and awning windows are later insertions and do not have the 1950s protruding concrete frames. The south-west (side) elevation (Plate 2) has continuous ranks of windows with protruding 11 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

concrete frames: a horizontal pivot type at ground floor and casement and horizontal pivot type at mezzanine level. At first floor, there is a series of four-light casement windows also with concrete frames.

5.2.9 There is access into the building on all sides. On the north-east elevation there is a ramp with a reinforced concrete canopy overhead to the reception entrance. Doors on the two corners of the south-east elevation lead into the stairwells. They have timber frames with concrete steps and a small concrete canopy above. On the south-west elevation are two goods entrances with roller shutters. The north-west side (Plate 4) has external stair and lift towers to provide access between the ground and first floor as there is no provision for this internally. The roof can be accessed from the top of the lift shaft.

Description - Interior 5.2.10 The interior of the building is a mixture of original spaces and rooms that were partitioned later. The reception area, storerooms and offices on the north-east side of the building are all later partitions with stud walls, suspended ceiling tiles, however features of the original building including the paved floor and octagonal columns remain (Plate 5).

5.2.11 The later partitions are constructed around the original framework of the building that comprises large octagonal concrete columns regularly spaced to support the upper floors and roof. These are prominent within the two large storage spaces that occupy the majority of the ground floor (Plate 6). The floor is paved with stone and tile flags, except at the south-east end beneath the mezzanine level where the floor surface varies between lino in the w.c. and stairwells (Plate 7) to floorboards and parquet blocks in the workshop areas.

5.2.12 The mezzanine level has had less alteration that the other floors. Plans show it was designed as male and female rest rooms, but these now function as offices (Plate 8). An additional room has been partitioned on the south-west side.

5.2.13 When WD 0 040 was a bakery, the first floor comprised the yeast, utensil and salt stores and master baker’s office at the south-east end with dough room and flour store occupying the rest of the floor. The original storerooms remain, whereas the master baker’s office has been divided in two and the dough room and flour store considerably subdivided into a series of corridors and offices of various sizes (Plates 9-10). The corridors form a figure 8 with offices and stores to the north-east, south-east, south-west and centre. The outer rooms have glazing to their interior walls to act as light wells into corridor spaces. The original floor surface of concrete paving has been covered by carpet or lino. Roof lights shown on the architectural plans are not visible within the first floor because a suspended ceiling has been fitted throughout. Overall, this floor is much darker and more enclosed than when originally constructed.

5.3 WD 0 123: The Haig Centre nursery and welfare facilities Level of record 5.3.1 Level 2

History 5.3.2 The building appears for the first time on the 1939 Ordnance Survey map of the area indicating that it was constructed at some point between 1926 and 1939.

5.3.3 The school for army children was opened by the War Office. It was transferred to Wiltshire County Council in 1948 and in 1955 had 100 pupils. It became a primary school and with

12 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

the expansion of the Camp in the 1960s, the school had to be enlarged in 1968 and again in 1974. There were 108 children in 1991 but falling numbers later resulted in its closure by 1997. The building currently operates as the Haig Centre that includes a Day Nursery for 70 pre-school children and a welfare centre.

Description - Exterior 5.3.4 WD 0 123 is centred at OS NGR 417958 143900. A plan of the building dated February 2013 is presented as Figure 11.

5.3.5 The building comprises an irregular shaped structure of different phases, which is set back to the south of Haig Road. At the north of the site is a large single -storey rectangular structure of early 20th century date with a number of adjoining extensions to the rear dating from the later 20th century.

5.3.6 The main school building measures approximately 35m x 10m is constructed from red brick laid in stretcher bond with hipped tiled roof above. The later extensions extend approximately 50m to the south. They comprise four irregular linked blocks that are also constructed of brick laid in stretcher bond with a mixture of flat-roofed and pitched roof forms. The two linked blocks at the south end of the building contain a welfare centre that operates separate from the nursery school.

5.3.7 The main access into the building is from the west via a ramp into the flat roofed later extension adjacent to the original structure (Plate 11). This flat roofed extension block creates an access corridor between the original structure and later nursery and hall extension blocks to the north-west and south respectively. The nursery and hall blocks are contemporary and similar in appearance with ranks of fixed and awning windows that overlook the entrance ramp and adjacent playground (Plate 12). These windows have uPVC frames, a protruding concrete surround and colourful panels above and below. Other windows in the extension blocks vary in size and form but typically have one awning light, concrete sills and uPVC frames.

5.3.8 The whole site is surrounded by a chain-link fence with playground areas subdivided by low wooden fences. Access from the school building into the playground is on the south- east side only. Some of later extension walls have been painted white at low level to create areas for graffiti/mural artwork by the children and a variety of play equipment and seating areas are interspersed through the playgrounds (Plate 13).

5.3.9 Windows throughout the school comprise modern double-glazed replacements with uPVC frames. Window openings have splayed brick arch heads with tile sills that show no evidence of alteration besides the replacement frames. They vary in width (either six or nine-light types) but are otherwise identical with central awnings and fixed panes above and below. They create a uniform façade fronting onto Haig Road (Plates 14-15).

5.3.10 The welfare centre blocks are similar in style to the school with identical colourful ranks of fixed and awning windows on the south and east elevations of the blocks. As with the extensions further north, other window openings vary in size and form but all have at least one awning light, concrete sills and uPVC frames. Similarly, the doors also have a concrete surround and uPVC frames (Plates 16-18).

Description - Interior 5.3.11 The original school block at the north-east end of the building is divided into several playrooms, a storeroom, w.c. facilities, kitchen and central office. The south-west wall of this block has become internal (except at high level) due to the addition of the later

13 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

extensions. Although many of the former openings in this wall have been blocked, three original windows survive in-situ as does the central arch that probably formed the main entrance to the school as initially constructed. The surviving windows are four-light types with a top hopper and retain their moulded brick sills, timber frame and metal catch to prevent the hopper from opening fully (Plate 19). The top of this partly enclosed wall has a series of awning windows with soldier brick, flat-arch heads that overlook the flat roof of the corridor extension.

5.3.12 Varying wall thicknesses within the original school block indicate the internal layout has been rearranged with the addition of partition walls and blocking of several openings. The office (Plate 20) and kitchen spaces have maintained their original dimensions but other areas have been altered to create three playrooms of roughly equal size. Some original door surrounds with oval, brass knobs have been retained but most have been replaced or blocked. Many of the blocked openings are still visible as recesses within the walls, some with the timber doorframes left in-situ (Plate 21).

5.3.13 The majority of the school is carpeted except for the hall, which has a parquet floor (Plate 22). The hall is divided into different play areas by plastic frame partitions, foam mats and taped markings on the floor. The hall has a high, suspended tile ceiling with high-level awning windows to the east that overlook the flat roof of another playroom. A staff room and toilet facilities are located adjacent to the hall and fitted a sofa, table, chairs, and kitchen facilities (Plate 23). The playrooms and nursery are all decorated in a similar style that suggests the entire building was redecorated together when the extension blocks were added. Playrooms are fitted with a variety of tables, chairs and shelving with toys and activities arranged throughout and children’s artwork and displays on the walls.

5.3.14 The interior of the welfare centre, which comprises the southern two extension blocks, appears very different to the school because of its different function. The most recent plan of WD 0 123, dated February 2013, indicates the welfare centre contained several shop rooms in its southern block and a playroom, staff room, w.c. facilities in its northern block, however these rooms have since been refitted as offices and the lobby entrances on the west side are set up as waiting rooms (Plates 24-25).

5.4 WD 0 125: Haig Centre Health House Level of record 5.4.1 Level 1

History 5.4.2 The building appears for the first time on the 1971 Ordnance Survey map of the area. Its proximity to the school suggests that it was associated with it, probably constructed as a caretaker’s bungalow during the expansion of the school in the 1960s. When recorded it was identified as the Haig Centre Health House and a cardboard sign outside indicated it was in use as a thrift shop.

Description 5.4.3 WD 0 125 is centred at OS NGR 417962 143854. Plates 26-28 provide a basic visual record of the building.

5.4.4 WD 0 125 comprises a simple single-storey dwelling which is rectangular in plan orientated approximately north – south along its long axis and measuring approximately 13.5m in length and 7m in width. The building is constructed of red brick laid in stretcher bond with pitched roof clad in tile and two brick chimneystacks above.

5.5 WD 0 206: Service Family Accommodation (SFA) (former no. 9) Level of record 5.5.1 Level 2

History 5.5.2 The buildings appear for the first time on the 1939 Ordnance Survey map of the area indicating that they were constructed at some point between 1925 and 1939.

Description - Exterior 5.5.3 WD 0 206 is centred at OS NGR 418060, 143877. Wessex Archaeology conducted a metric survey in November 2014 to produce plans of the building, presented as Figure 12.

5.5.4 WD 0 206 is one of 36 buildings that comprise an estate of terraced and semi-detached houses that are arranged symmetrically around a central grassed area. They were previously numbered 1-36 but renamed as WD 0 200-235 in late 2014. Haig Road borders the north side of the green and Old Ward Road curves around the east, south and west sides of the estate. The houses provide accommodation for Army personnel with families. The 36 buildings form a rectangular arrangement with two semi-detached houses on each of the four corners and a mix of semi-detached and terraced houses elsewhere (24 terraces and 12 semi-detached in total). WD 0 206 is one of the terraced houses.

5.5.5 Construction is of red brick laid in stretcher bond with hipped tiled roofs above. It has four vented flues, one per house. The buildings are typical of 1930s housing stock with many retaining original front doors. WD 0 206, former no. 9, is one of the centre houses in a terrace of four that comprises WD 0 204 to 207 (former nos. 7-10). This terrace block is located to the south of Haig Road and faces south onto a shared green (Plate 29). Its rear elevation and garden plots face Haig Road (Plate 30). The terrace is constructed symmetrically so the two houses at its east end have an identical plan form to each other (WD 0 206 and 0 207) whereas those at the west end (WD 0 204 and WD 0 205) have a mirrored layout. This symmetry is true of all the terrace blocks in the group.

5.5.6 The front (south) elevation of WD 0 206 (Plate 29) has four-light windows, one on each floor directly in line with each other. The windows are different in height but not in form, both have an uPVC sill and frame with two casements, an awning and fixed pane in the centre. The ground floor window has a brick-on-edge and tile head whereas the first floor window is directly below the roof so the fascia board forms the head of the opening. The front door of WD 0 206 is to the west of the windows, close to the centre of the terrace. It has a concrete step to a timber door with six glazed lights and three panels below. The door opening has a soldier brick head and a plastic canopy overhead. The door canopies of WD 0 206 and 205 meet overhead.

5.5.7 The side elevations of the terrace are blind, only the front and rear elevations have openings (Plate 30).

5.5.8 The rear (north) elevation of WD 0 206 (Plate 30) has five windows in total. On the ground floor are two lancet, awning windows that frame the back door and a three-light casement and awning type to the east. Again, as with the front elevation, the ground floor windows have brick-on-edge and tile heads whereas the first floor windows are directly beneath the fascia board of the roof. The two first floor windows are identical to the three- light casement and awning type on the ground floor. All the windows have uPVC sills and frames. The back door is identical to the front door, set in a recessed opening with a

15 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

protruding brick surround. There is a low, brick step in front of the entrance. Unlike the front elevation, the rear elevation has a low-level brick plinth that is flush with the door surround and approximately 0.15m high above the ground surface.

5.5.9 Each house in the terrace has a rear garden with a shed and timber fencing around. The sheds have a concrete frame with timber boards between, a flat roof clad in corrugated sheet metal and a two light, timber frame window. The sheds of houses WD 0 205 and 206 comprise a single structure that straddles the fence line of the two gardens (Plate 30).

Description - Interior 5.5.10 The internal layout of WD 0 206 is shown on Figure 12. It comprises a ground floor living room and kitchen with a stairwell to first floor on the west side of the house and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

5.5.11 The interior of WD 0 206 has been stripped of the majority of its furnishings, although some kitchen and bathroom fittings remain in-situ. These are all modern; none of the original 1920s-30s fixtures or fittings survive.

5.5.12 The front door leads directly into the stairwell that has a simple cylindrical handrail attached to one wall. The stairwell, living room and bedrooms are carpeted whereas the bathroom has linoleum and the kitchen has floorboards. Although fireplaces in the house have been blocked, the living room has a freestanding electric fire on a tiled hearth in front of the former opening. The suspended plaster ceilings throughout are plain and smooth except for the living room, which is decorated with artex (Plate 31).

5.5.13 The kitchen (Plate 32) has a C-plan worktop with a tile splashback and overhead cabinets in an L plan opposite the three-light window. The cooker, inserted in a gap in the worktop, is modern in design. Access under the stairs is located in the south-west corner of the kitchen. Upstairs, the bathroom is tiled from floor to ceiling with a bath along the north wall and opposing sink and toilet to west and east respectively (Plate 33). The bedrooms lack their fittings and their fireplaces have been blocked (Plate 34).

5.6 WD 0 233: Service Family Accommodation (SFA) (former no. 36) Level of record 5.6.1 Level 2

History 5.6.2 The buildings appear for the first time on the 1939 Ordnance Survey map of the area indicating that it was constructed at some point between 1925 and 1939.

Description - Exterior 5.6.3 WD 0 233 is centred at OS NGR 417993, 143872. Wessex Archaeology conducted a metric survey of it in November 2014 to produce ground and first floor plans, presented as Figure 13.

5.6.4 WD 0 233 is one of 36 buildings that comprise an estate of terraced and semi-detached houses that are arranged symmetrically around a central grassed area. They were previously numbered 1-36 but renamed as WD 0 200-235 in late 2014. Haig Road borders the north side of the green and Old Ward Road curves around the east, south and west sides of the estate. The houses provide accommodation for Army personnel with families. The 36 buildings form a rectangular arrangement with two semi-detached houses on each of the four corners of the green and a mix of semi-detached and terraced 16 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

houses elsewhere (24 terraces and 12 semi-detached in total). WD 0 233 (former no. 36) is one-half of the semi-detached building in the south-west corner of the estate. WD 0 232, which was not recorded, comprises the other half of the structure.

5.6.5 The WD 0 232-233 building is constructed of identical materials to the terraces but its plan form is quite different. It comprises a two-storey, square plan house with a single-storey outshut and a two-storey, rectangular plan house with two single-storey outshuts. House WD 0 233 is approximately the square plan one and faces north-west whereas house WD 0 232 is rectangular in plan, set slightly further east than 233 and faces south-west. The roof of the block is multi-pitched with a hip and catslide to the front of WD 0 233 (north- west) and hips at the south-west corner and east end of WD 0 232.

5.6.6 The west (front) elevation of house WD 0 233 (Plate 35) comprises a front door (south of centre) with small two light, top vented window to the south. North of the door is a six-light casement and top-vented window with similar four-light one directly above. Also at first floor is a dormer window that projects from the catslide roof. Stepped tile corbels are located at the west corner of the north-west elevation (WD 0 233) and south corner of the south-west elevation (WD 0 232) i.e. on the front elevation of each house.

5.6.7 As with the terraced blocks, ground floor window openings are headed by a course of bricks-on-edge with tile courses above whereas door openings have only the bricks-on- edge. At first floor, the window head are obscured by fascia boards. All the windows and front door have replacement, uPVC frames.

5.6.8 The south-west (side) elevation of WD 0 233 is very short as it is abutted by the north- west elevation of WD 0 232. It contains a single ground floor window (two light top vent type), slightly larger than that on the front elevation (Plate 36). The north-east (side) elevation of WD 0 233 is blind and faces the garden, which is bordered by a timber fence (Plate 37).

5.6.9 The south-east (rear) elevation of WD 0 233 (Plates 28-29) has three windows at first floor comprising a single two-light top vented window in the stairwell and a three light casement and top vented window in each bedroom. The ground floor has another two light vented window in the kitchen and a four light casement and vented window in the living room single storey block. Similar to the front door, the back door is a modern glazed, uPVC type whereas the door to the yard storeroom is a timber ledge and brace type on strap hinges and may be an original feature.

Description - Interior 5.6.10 Internally, WD 0 233 has been stripped of furnishings, the same as WD 0 206. Its layout is shown on Figure 13. The front door leads into a hall and central stairwell with living room to the north, bathroom to the south and kitchen to the east. Upstairs are two bedrooms of similar size, one with the north-west dormer window.

5.6.11 The internal appearance of WD 0 233 is very similar to WD 0 206. The hall, stairwell, living room and bedrooms are carpeted, whereas the kitchen and bathroom have linoleum. The stairwell (Plate 40) has a short balustrade with stick balusters and cylindrical handrail above. An identical handrail is attached to the wall on the other side. The handrail is identical to that in WD 0 206. In WD 0 233, internal doors have been replaced with modern ones but retain their original, plainly moulded timber frames. Similarly, the chamfered skirting remains in-situ in all rooms except the kitchen and bathroom. Walls and ceilings within the living room, bedrooms, hall and stairwell are textured and painted, whereas the kitchen and bathroom walls are plastered smooth with

17 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

tiles above the kitchen worktop, bath and sinks (Plates 41-42). There is a serving hatch between the kitchen and living room, which survives in-situ with a plain moulded timber frame. The living room extends into the single storey flat roofed bay on the east side of the house. It has an electric fire on a tiled hearth that has been fitted in front of an earlier, larger opening in the chimneybreast (Plate 43).

5.6.12 On the first floor, the north bedroom contains the chimneybreast with blocked fireplace and two built-in wardrobes with plain detailing. The bases of the hip rafters are visible in the corners of the room (Plate 44). The south bedroom extends into the dormer window on the west side of the house so its ceiling slopes on that side. Adjacent to the dormer is a fitted cupboard with plain moulded timber frame similar to the wardrobes in the other bedroom.

5.7 WI 0 223: Service Living Accommodation (SLA) Building Level of record 5.7.1 Level 2

History 5.7.2 The building appears for the first time on the 1939 Ordnance Survey map of the area indicating that it was constructed at some point between 1925 and 1939.

5.7.3 Architectural drawings of the building that date from 1960 and 1995 are presented as Figures 14-17. They depict improvements and modifications to the structure.

Description - Exterior 5.7.4 WI 0223 is centred at OS NGR 418244 143460.

5.7.5 The building comprises a two-storey ‘T’-shaped structure comprising a rectangular accommodation block measuring approximately 36m in length and 7m in width, aligned approximately north-east to south-west on its long axis with a central ablution block on the east side. It is Neo-Georgian in style, which is typical of the late 1920s and 1930s buildings constructed across the Salisbury Plain camps. It is one of a group of six accommodation blocks arranged on two sides of a central grassed area. Buildings 221- 223 on the west side of the green are identical to each other, whereas 225-227 on the opposite side are mirrored so that all ablution blocks face the green. Originally, the green featured a large dining hall/kitchen that has been demolished in recent years.

5.7.6 The external appearance of the building is shown in Plates 45-49.

5.7.7 WI 0 223 construction is of red brick laid in stretcher bond. Lighter red brick has been used either side of the window openings and across the wall at low level to create a pattern of columns rising from a lighter coloured base. The roofs above the main and ablution blocks are hipped with pitched two-storey and single-storey sloping roofs over the link passage between the two blocks. All roofs are clad in slate. The main entrance is on north-west elevation (Plate 44). It has original Portland stone dressings around a central recessed porch, although the door itself is modern timber type with a code security lock. Another doorway is located on the north side of the link passage. It has a stone step, soldier brick head and is fitted with a modern timber door with code lock (Plate 49).

5.7.8 Fenestration is regular creating uniform, symmetrical elevations. The window openings have the aforementioned lighter red brick columns to either side with protruding brick sills and soldier brick heads. The majority are two-light types with lower hopper (windows that

18 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

are hinged at the base) and upper fixed pane. The exceptions to this are on the south- west side of the building where there is a single-light and three-light window at first floor to the north and south sides of the ablution block respectively (Plates 47-49). The ablution block and link passage have single-light, hopper type windows with protruding brick sills and concrete heads. These have the lighter brickwork columns either side identical to the main block. The ablution block windows are arranged in one, two or three columns depending on the elevation (Plates 47-49).

Description – Interior 5.7.9 The internal layout of the building is presented in Figures 16-17. Circulation comprises a central lobby area and stairwell (Plates 50-51) with a link corridor to the east into the ablution block and a central corridor, aligned approximately north-east to south-west, that forms a spine through the building (Plate 52). In the main block, both floors have a range of toilets, utility, bath and shower rooms close to the central stairwell (Plate 53) and bedrooms at either end of the range. There are 11 bedrooms per floor. The ablution block contains a utility and drying room at ground floor and toilets at first floor (Plate 54).

5.7.10 The staircase is the only original feature identified internally as the building has been redecorated with modern fixtures and fittings. The stairs have an open well with a dog-leg half landing and three-quarter landing and are art deco in style, which is typical of the period. The concrete stairs have a metal balustrade with a geometric design and wooden handrail with a rounded profile, rectangular capitals above the newel posts and scrolled end at the half landing (Plates 50-51).

5.7.11 Floors in the building are carpeted within the lobby and corridors whereas the stairs, utility and ablution rooms have textured or smooth linoleum floors. The ceilings are suspended and ceiling tiles are interspersed with flush electric lights. Walls are plainly decorated without mouldings and there is modern, plastic skirting that overlaps the carpet and linoleum surfaces. In the bath, shower and utility rooms the walls are partially tiled (Plates 52-54).

5.7.12 Unfortunately, it was not possible to gain access into any of the bedrooms as the building was fully occupied when inspected. It is unlikely that original features survive in these rooms given the redecoration of the rest of the building. The 1995 plans label the bedrooms as ‘bed/sit z type’ rooms and show they each have a single bed, a sink and various items of unidentified furniture, presumably a mixture of wardrobes, drawers, shelving and perhaps a desk.

5.8 WI 0 224: Service Living Accommodation (SLA) Building Level of record

5.8.1 Level 1

History 5.8.2 The building appears for the first time on the 1971 Ordnance Survey map of the area indicating that it was constructed at some point between 1961 and 1971. Surviving design drawings of the building date from 1957, which suggests an early 1960s construction date is more likely.

19 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

Description 5.8.3 WI 0 224 is centred at OS NGR 418262 143419. It is the youngest of seven SLA buildings WI 0 221-227 arranged around a central green. The building is the only example of its type. Plates 55-58 provide a basic visual record of the building.

5.8.4 It comprises a two-storey rectangular plan building aligned north-west to south-east on its long axis and measures approximately 40m in length and 12m in width. Construction is of red brick laid in stretcher bond with pitched tiled roof above. Vented flues project from the roof tiles, the majority on the north side of the building. A single storey, low level outshut that contains the plant room is located centrally on the north side of the building.

5.8.5 The south-west and north-east elevations (front and rear respectively) are divided into five bays each, of varying width. On the south-west elevation the bays either side of the central one are recessed, whereas on the north elevation the central bay is recessed with the bays either side projecting north in stages.

5.8.6 The only entrance to WI 0 224 is on its south-west side, central to the elevation. It appears to project forward because the bays to either side are recessed and it has brick and stone steps in front and a flat concrete canopy overhead. The door opening has a set of timber double doors, half glazed with two-light, timber framed windows either side. The wall beneath the windows is tiled.

5.8.7 Fenestration is regular and the majority of windows are three-light types with a casement and awning. These are regularly spaced on the south-west (front) and north-east (rear) elevations and arranged in ranks on the north-east and south-west (side) elevations. Some have protruding concrete surrounds, others have concrete sill and lintels and the remainder have just concrete sills but these variations are arranged symmetrically in the elevations so appear to be purposefully designed rather than the result of modification. A unique six-light window with three awnings, concrete sill and lintel is located central to the south-west elevation. On the north-east elevation there is a tall three-light window with concrete head and sill in the central bay and ranks of windows in the bays either side of centre. These are single-light awning windows with a continuous concrete head and sill to frame them. The outer bays have the typical three-light casement and awning windows seen on other elevations.

5.8.8 No inspection was made of the interior.

5.9 WI 0 230: Boiler House Level of record 5.9.1 Level 1

History 5.9.2 Although a Boiler House is depicted on this site on the 1939 Ordnance Survey map, the present building appears for the first time on the 1971 Ordnance Survey map of the area, indicating that it was constructed between 1961 and 1971. Surviving design drawings of the building date from 1961, which suggests an early 1960s construction date is more likely.

Description 5.9.3 WI 0 230 is centred at OS NGR 418314 143539. Plates 59-62 provide a basic visual record of the building. It is located at the north end of the green that has accommodation

20 Doc Ref: 104781.02

Army Basing Programme: Salisbury Plain Camps and Aldershot Garrison Phase 2 Historic Building Record: Bulford Camp

buildings WI 0 221-227 on its east south and west sides. Until recently, there was a dining hall/kitchen building to the south of the boiler house but this has been demolished. A fenced off concrete platform adjacent to the west side of the boiler house contains a large storage tank.

5.9.4 WI 0 230 comprises a single-storey L shaped building formed from two rectangular blocks. The west end block is approximately two-thirds the height of the other and the building measures approximately 14m in width and 12m in length at its greatest extent. A concrete chimneystack with a brick top is situated in the south-east corner. The chimney bricks vary in size so the lower courses are thinner than the upper ones.

5.9.5 Construction is of brick laid in stretcher bond with flat roofs above. Pedestrian access into the building is on the west side adjacent to the chimney and with plain timber frame and door and concrete step in front. There is also a larger entrance boarded up on the south side with concrete ramp in front. This elevation also has four vents at low level. Fenestration is regular but restricted to the west and north sides of the building. The west end block of WI 0 230 has five west facing, metal frame windows that alternate between a single-light casement type and two-light fixed and awning type, all with concrete sills. On the north elevation of this block there is a square, single light awning window also with a concrete sill. The north elevation of the east block is completely glazed. It has an uPVC frame with twelve fixed panes and four vented shutters at high level. Conversely, the west elevation of this block is blind.

5.9.6 No inspection was made of the interior.

5.10 WI 0 265: Armoury Level of record 5.10.1 Level 1

History 5.10.2 The building appears for the first time on the 1971 Ordnance Survey map of the area indicating that it was constructed at some point between 1961 and 1971.

5.10.3 Architecturally the building appears to have been constructed in the 1960s.

Description 5.10.4 WI 0 265 is centred at OS NGR 418448 143480. Plates 63-65 provide a basic visual record of the building.

5.10.5 WI 0 265 comprises a single-storey building that is rectangular in plan and orientated north-east to south-west along its long axis. It is attached to building WI 0 232 to the south-east, which in turn is connected to WI A 232 to the south-west. As a group, the three blocks form an L shaped plan and are interconnected by covered passages.

5.10.6 WI 0 265 has a verandah along its north-east (front) elevation with a strong steel door providing access into the secure S Company Armoury. The verandah continues along the north-east elevation of the east block of WI 0 232 which has steel doors into the A, B, R and HQ Companies Armouries.

5.10.7 Construction is of brick laid in stretcher bond with a flat concrete slab roof deck clad in roofing felt. The north-west elevation is blind except for a two-light timber framed window in the side of the verandah that has been boarded over. The south-west and south-east

elevations of WI 0 265 are also blind but can only be viewed obliquely due to the close proximity of the WI 0 232 blocks to south and east. This lack of openings is typical of armoury structures.

5.10.8 No inspection was made of the interior.

6 DISCUSSION

6.1.1 It is clear from the cartographic evidence and architectural drawings that the majority of pre-WWII buildings at Bulford Camp were demolished in the mid to late 20th century, post- 1961.

6.1.2 Surviving early 20th century buildings to be demolished include the estate of 36 service family accommodation houses (WD 0 200-235), the Haig Centre nursery and welfare building (WD 0 123) which has been considerably extended and the service living accommodation buildings (WD 0 221-223 and 225-227). The exteriors of these buildings tend to retain their early 20th century appearance but their interiors have been modernised and redecorated which has destroyed much of their original character. Despite this modernisation, some original features have survived internally such as wooden framed windows and the arched entrance fossilized within the nursery (WD 0 123) and an art deco staircase within accommodation building WI 0 223.

6.1.3 Other buildings to be demolished are mid-20th century structures constructed prior to 1972. These include the old Bakery (WD 0 040), the Haig Centre Health House (WD 0 125), Boiler House (WI 0 230) and armoury (WI 0 265). The large scale, curved roof and attractive, modernist style of the old Bakery clearly identify it as a 1950s building for an industrial purpose whereas the other structures are less imposing and have fewer diagnostic features for classification.

6.2 Summary 6.2.1 The aim of this programme of historic building recording was to provide a record of structures due for demolition that had previously been assessed as possessing some heritage significance and considered worthy of ‘preservation by record’. Nine buildings were recorded to a standard commensurate to either Level 1 or Level 2 as defined by English Heritage guidance (2006), culminating in this report. This document provides an historic record of these buildings which will be made available for future interest/research.
