Wyvern Barracks

Wyvern Barracks is a military installation on Topsham Road in Exeter.

History
The site was established as an artillery barracks for the Board of Ordnance under the name of Topsham Barracks around 1800. During the First World War a reserve brigade of the Royal Field Artillery was based there and during the Second World War units of the United States Army were based there. After becoming home to the Devonshire Regiment and then, from 1958, home to the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment, the barracks became known as Wyvern Barracks and went on to become the regional centre for infantry training as the Wessex Brigade Depot in 1960.
