Entrance to the former Ladysmith Barracks
The barracks opened in 1843, at that time there was quite a bit of civil unrest when it was felt better to move the soldiers away from the town centre.
The barracks were renamed Ladysmith Barracks to commemorate the part the Manchester Regiment played in the Siege of Ladysmith in the Boer War.
The barracks closed in 1963 but the splendid gateway, with the golden lettering above the arch is all that now remains.
