Restricted image because I was not permitted to set foot onto the Colchester Garrison but I was grateful for the opportunity to grab a quickie under the watchful eye of the armed guard.

Memorial of Colchester's Goojerat Garrison
The military acquired the land at Barn Hill Farm, Colchester in 1899 and built the garrison which they named after the First (Goojerat) and Second (Sobraon) Sikh Wars of 1846 and 1849 respectively. The Garrison was first occupied by troops in 1900.
In the 18th century troops were accommodated in local billeting or in temporary camps.
A more permanent accommodation was erected for the French Wars, 1793 - 1815 but was disposed of after the war. The Crimean War, 1854 - 1856 saw hutted accommodation built on what was called Ordnance Field.
Goojerat and Sobraon Barracks are now known as Blenheim Park.
