Kempston Barracks

Kempston Barracks is a military installation at Kempston in Bedfordshire.

History
The barracks were built in the Fortress Gothic Revival Style as a depot for the 26th (Cameronian) Regiment of Foot and completed between 1875 and 1876. The barracks became the depot for the Bedfordshire Regiment in 1881 and for the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment in 1919. The building was used as a convalescent centre during the Second World War. The barracks were closed when the regiment was disbanded in 1958; much of the site has been developed for residential use and the keep is now occupied by a Masonic Lodge.
