Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Merryhill Envirotec Ltd, on behalf of Aspire Defence Services Ltd, to undertake a programme of Historic Building Recording of four WWII buildings at Corunna Barracks, Ludgershall, Wiltshire in advance of demolition works. The works are taking place as part of the Army Basing Programme, which will involve the construction of numerous new facilities including service families' accommodation and a primary school, for the redeployment of British forces from Germany. Corunna Barracks was developed as a Central Vehicle Depot by the War Office during WWII for the manufacture and repair of vehicles. In 1943 it was used by the United States Army units in readiness for the invasion of occupied Europe in June 1944. The site includes a mixture of buildings across a range of ages. It contains several large WWII storage buildings, workshops, ancillary buildings, more recent modular buildings, garages, a fuel filling station and a rail-served storage depot. At Corunna Barracks, there are 28 buildings to be demolished ahead of the proposed development of which four were recommended for a Level 1 basic visual record. The recording exercise involved photography as well as a brief written description which has created a record of the structures for posterity. Wessex Archaeology carried out the recording in July 2015. |
