WEYMOUTH DORCHESTER ROAD (West side) Nos.1-5 (consecutive) Radipole Terrace

II

Terrace of 5 single-storey houses, possibly originally officers' accommodation. 1798. By Alexander Copland (a London contractor). For the Barrack Master, General Col DeLancey. Rendered, some on timber-frame, some to brickwork: No.1 has some exposed mathematical tiling, but concealed elsewhere, slate roofs. PLAN: terrace is set at right angles to Dorchester Road, and backs on Alexandra Road; originally it faced a large parade ground, part of Radipole Cavalry Barracks. EXTERIOR: each bungalow has a door with a single large window each side, and a rear gabled wing taken through to Alexandra Road. No.1 has three 16-pane sashes in moulded boxes in its end gable, and similar sashes to the front; its panelled, part-glazed door formerly had a transom light, now blocked. No.2 has replaced windows and door, this with transom light, and No.3 retains a 12-pane sash to the right, with French doors with margin-panes to the left of the central flush 4-panelled door with 3-pane transom light. Nos 4 & 5 have replacement doors and windows. There are 3 ridge stacks, the centre one cropped to ridge level. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: these modest buildings have special historic interest, as they are practically all that remains from a large barracks complex, begun in 1798 and extended in 1800 and 1804, with a maximum complement of 953 officers and men and 986 horses. It is supposed that these bungalows were officers' accommodation. There is also special architectural interest in the use of mathematical tiles, common in the south-east of England: this must represent the furthest penetration of the method to the west. At the time of survey a little of the timber-frame was exposed to the front of No.1, and some mathematical tiles could be distinguished at plinth level. Formed part of a chain of one-troop cavalry barracks along the south coast planned by DeLancey. With Nos 24 & 26 Alexandra Road (qv), these have considerable historic interest as examples of semi-permanent military accommodation between the

flexible and cheap temporary use of rented warehouses and barns during the intense invasion scares of the Napoleonic Wars, and the permanent but slow and costly alternative of brick barracks. (RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 358).
