Colewort Barracks

Colewort Barracks was a military installation at Portsmouth, Hampshire.

History
The facility were originally built as a garrison hospital in 1680 and converted into a barracks in 1694. The barracks were named after a type of wild cabbage which was prevalent in the local area. The barracks were home to the Army Service Corps, responsible for supplies, transport and accommodation, during the First World War. After the war, the barracks fell into disrepair and were demolished to make way for an expansion to Portsmouth Power Station in the late 1920s.
