Grève de Lecq Barracks

The Barracks was purchased by the Trust in 1972. Constructed between 1810 and 1815 to provide accommodation for the soldiers who guarded the Bay from French invasion, the Barracks housed regiments of troops up until 1926. The Barracks is an excellent example of a self-contained military unit and retains many original features, including two prison cells and the ablutions block with outdoor pissoirs ! (More …)
