Shoebury Garrison Conservation Area Appraisal Survey
Shoebury Garrison Conservation Area has a crucial place in national military history for the development and testing of ordnance and for artillery training from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century as the country emerged from the Napoleonic era into the modern era of warfare. It is associated with important events, such as the Crimean War, and people, such as the former Duke of Cambridge, the army Commander in Chief and a frequent visitor to the Garrison. Many of the Garrison’s buildings are listed buildings and have special architectural or historic interest. The site contains a comprehensive group of military architecture, including mess buildings, buildings associated with artillery testing, a drill hall, hospital, residences and a church. These have a consistency in design and materials which give the area visual coherence and contribute towards a fine townscape, which is complemented by green open spaces, well-manicured gardens and mature tree planting.
