You've made it to the site of the former Wesleyan Soldier's home in North Camp at the end of Queens Avenue at the junction with Lynchford Road, and which was later renamed to the Harrington Soldier's home. Major changes in this area have seen the rerouting of the end of Queens Avenue and this entire area cleared of all buildings, making way for trees and grassed areas. The only remnants of the former junction with Queen's Avenue is in the form of a slight enclave in the road (Image 5).
Where to now? To the South runs Queens Avenue, bisected by Duke of Connaught's Road, with the old Brigade School and the former sites of the North Camp fire station, Blenheim Barracks, Malplaquet Barracks, Oudenarde Barracks, Tournay Barracks, Ramilies Barracks and Lille Barracks close by, with the busy Lynchford Road opposite and Alexandra Road and the Wesleyan Church and Church Institute to the West. Also in close proximity are Camp Road and Peabody Road, with Redvers Buller Road and The Glasshouse nearby in the Marlborough Lines area. The former site of the Connaught National Hospital is also nearby to the East. For the full list of locations nearby, pick where you want to go next from the menu on the right.
