Red Barracks, Woolwich

The Red Barracks, formerly the Royal Marine Infirmary, was a military installation located in Frances Street, just south of Woolwich Dockyard, in London, England.

It was designed by William Scamp in the neoclassical style, built in red brick with stone dressings and was completed in 1860.

[2] The design of the three-storey building involved a symmetrical main frontage of 13 bays facing onto Frances Street.

[7] Red Barracks then became the home of the Inspectorate of Armaments (later the Quality Assurance Directorate (Weapons))[8] and also accommodated the Royal Artillery Record Office from 1940.

[4] The building was decommissioned by the British Army in 1967 and used as a venue for the comedy film, The National Health, which was released in 1973.
