Abstract: |
In December 2019 Cotswold Archaeology undertook a programme of Historic Building Recording in respect of four military buildings, colloquially known as '41 Squadron Lines Buildings'. The buildings are located at the south-eastern extent of the Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut, Surrey. The buildings comprise a complex of four detached buildings. The predominant construction material is red brick, incorporating hipped roofs of tile or corrugated concrete sheeting. Externally, the buildings are relatively unaltered since their original construction in the late 1930s/early 1940s. The most visible alterations to the buildings' exteriors are the incorporation of brick infill within former vehicle entrance apertures and the construction of small extensions to two of the buildings during the mid to late 20th-century. The architect of the buildings is unknown, however, their overall form and architectural features are simple and functional with no decorative elements. The buildings' original function appears to be principally for the storage and maintenance of vehicles or ordnance. The buildings were once occupied by divisions of the Royal Logistics Corps. The significance of the buildings lies in their evidential value as some of the only surviving structures from a period during the Second World War. A major rebuilding programme during the late 1960s has substantially altered the historical context of the buildings and diluted an appreciation of their function within the pre-1960s camp. The buildings retain very limited aesthetic and communal value due to their entirely functional roles and restricted access. A previous programme of Historic Building Recording was undertaken in 2015 (CA Report: 15212) to fulfil condition 54 attached to planning permission 2012/0546. This Historic Building Recording addresses condition 53 of the same planning permission. |
