Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works to undertake a programme of historic building record of ten buildings situated within three sites: Provost Barracks, Army School of Physical Training and Wavell House situated within Aldershot Army Camp, Aldershot, Hampshire. This survey was carried out as part of an extensive programme of survey work relating to the Project Allenby/Connaught programme of replacement/refurbishment of barracks and other buildings in the Aldershot and Salisbury Plain area. The buildings are due for demolition or refurbishment. The buildings are not statutorily listed and are situated outside of the Aldershot Conservation Area. The buildings recorded comprise a variety of types and ages, ranging from late 19th century - mid 20th century. The earliest buildings consist of the Administration Office (PV A 071) and Verandah (PT 0 133), with the PT Offices (PT 0 127) and Theatre (PT 0 123) dating from the early 20th century. The remaining six properties consist of four storage buildings (PV A 078, WA 0 211, WA 0 215, and WA 0 218) plus a store which was used as a Gymnasium (WA 0 217) and the present HQ Offices (PV A 073), all of which were all constructed between 1931 and 1963. The buildings examined showed few signs of major alteration or subdivision, with the majority of the modifications limited to the replacement of original single-glazed mild-steel casement windows with modern uPVC double-glazed units. The vast majority of these buildings appear pattern built and are severely functional in design and appearance, although the small Administration Office (PV A 071) retains a number of attractive late Victorian architectural features. In addition, the early 20th century PT Offices (PT 0 127) and mid 20th century HQ Administration Offices (PV A 073) whilst utilitarian in appearance, are well designed and solidly built with spacious, light rooms. |
