About

Canterbury Barracks occupies a compact patch of former military land now woven into the surrounding neighbourhood. The layout centres on long, red-brick ranges set around a rectangular open space that once served as the parade. Streets around the site carry a mix of terraced and purpose-built homes, small shops and a community centre. Local bus services run past the main entrance, and lanes give direct pedestrian links into the adjoining residential streets.

Many original buildings have been repurposed for housing and light commercial use while retaining structural details. One of the long ranges still shows segmental-arched window openings and a cast-iron rainwater hopper stamped with a date, set above a narrow service passage used by residents. The rectangular green is used for seasonal community events and acts as a shared outdoor space for immediate neighbours, preserving the site's clear, ordered arrangement even as functions have changed.
