Wellesley Barracks

Wellesley Barracks is a former military installation in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England.

The barracks was built in the Fortress Gothic Revival Style as a depot for the 33rd and 76th Regiment's.

[2] Their creation took place as part of the Cardwell Reforms which encouraged the localisation of British military forces.

[4] The barracks was demoted to the status of out-station to the Yorkshire Brigade depot at Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Strensall in 1958 and the regimental museum collection was rehoused in the Bankfield Textile Museum in 1961, with the regimental archives and library remaining onsite.

[4] Although many of the buildings on the site were subsequently demolished, the keep was retained and is owned by Calderdale Council, with no public access.
