Seaforth Barracks was a military installation at Seaforth in Merseyside.
History
The barracks were originally built as cavalry accommodation and were completed in 1882.[1] Units of the Royal Garrison Artillery and Royal Field Artillery were also based there in the late 19th century.[2] The barracks became the depot of the King's Regiment (Liverpool) in 1910 and were a major recruiting centre for Liverpool troops during First World War.[2] The barracks closed and the site was made available for residential development in 1958.[2]
