Over the years more than 100 different locations in Farnborough have either been demolished or redeveloped for various reasons, taking away a little part of the town's history in the process.
One of these redevelopments was the demolition of Ramilies Barracks in the Marlboroough Lines area. The barracks was first built in the 1850s and then rebuilt again between 1890-95. These 1890s brick barracks were designed to replace the old wooden hutted barracks that preceded it. The barracks housed included an officer's mess, sergeant's mess, regimental institute and 20 single storey barracks bungalows, holding 25 officers and 668 men. The barracks were demolished in 1965 and its site is now occupied by the Defence Dental Agency, built in 1971, on Evelyn Woods Road.
Currently we are trying to source an old photograph of Ramilies Barracks to feature here.

Once we have a historic photo to share this location will be added to the virtual tour of historic Farnborough.
