GV II
Part of the former barracks of the West Suffolk Militia Regiment, now all converted to houses or flats late C20. 1857/8. By RM Phipson, in partnership with G Morgan. In dark red brick with blue headers and lighter red brick dressings. Fully hipped slate roofs with wide eaves soffits. Elizabethan style. PLAN: in 2 sections, probably single-depth to the left and double-depth to the right. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. 8- and 11-window ranges. Nos 28 and 29 each have 2 paired casement windows to the 1st storey in deep moulded brick reveals. 2 canted bays with slate roofs to the ground storey have similar paired windows. Stone sill bands run below all the windows. The entrance doors are flanked by single-light windows, all in deep recesses. The higher central section, containing Nos 30 to 33, is the surviving building of a pair which included the armoury, guard room and orderly room. It has a high ground storey with wide plain pilasters at the angles and an upper storey above a brick dentil course. A brick dentil course also below the moulded sprockets of the eaves soffit. Central tripartite windows on each storey have shallow pointed arches to the surrounds. 2 similar paired windows to the upper storey. 2 matching doors with high pointed surrounds and rectangular fanlights to the ground storey. To the left of this block a lower section has paired casements to each storey in the same style. Various high sawtooth chimney-stacks, each with a row of tall terracotta pots. INTERIOR: not inspected. Low red brick boundary walls along the frontage have stone coping and higher dividing pillars with conical stone caps. HISTORY: the 1853 Militia Act required each county to provide NCO accommodation and a secure store for arms. These houses may be part of the former. An unusual design, which forms part of a group with the adjoining Nos 37-39 (qv).
