Report - Colchester Garrison's Officers Mess

[Megmog93]

Hey guys, im new to this world and came across this old building in Colchester, essex. I believe it to be old garrison. As i was solo, and saw what i believed to be a pocket knife on the floor, i didnt stay long. However, i managed to get some good shots

I believe so, it’s supposed to be converted into flats

I was thinking the same!! There’s a few other barrack buildings still up but there’s security all ways there around the clock

Colchester & Catterick are now the 2 largest garrisons in the UK and a lot of re-building has been going on with older barracks closing down.
