Former Infirmary Stables, Arborfield Garrison, Arborfield, Barkham - Wokingham (UA)
A specialised 'horse hospital' built 1911-12. The building is redundant by virtue of changes in army practices (reduced cavalry activity). A sustainable future needs to be found and repairs undertaken. Planning Permission has been granted for the development of Arborfield Garrison and this will include a requirement to repair the stables. Works to clear asbestos from the site began in early 2017 and re- roofing of the stables with matching cement diamond tiles were carried out in 2017 and have been completed. An end use for the building is being considered.
