Springfield Barracks

Springfield Barracks is a former military installation in east side of South Road in Lancaster, England. It is a Grade II listed building.

1. History

The building, which was designed by Edmund Sharpe (after he had handed over his practice to Paley and Austin) in the Scottish baronial style for the 1st Royal Lancashire Militia (The Duke of Lancaster's Own), was completed in 1854. It was named after Springfield Hall which was located on the west side of South Road and which formed the basis of the Royal Lancaster Infirmary site. The militia moved to larger premises at Bowerham Barracks in around 1883 and the building was subsequently used as a drill hall by artillery units. It was acquired by Storey Brothers & Co., makers of printed sheeting and coated fabric, who converted it for use as offices for White Cross Mills, in 1983.

The Adult College, Lancaster

The Adult College was an adult education college located in the centre of Lancaster in Lancashire, England. The college was established in 1975, and moved to a site on Quarry Road overlooking the Lancaster Canal in 1990. The Adult College was not an independent body, rather it was wholly owned and operated by Lancashire County Council as part of Lancashire Adult Learning. Courses offered by the college were aimed primarily at adult learners who were returning to education, rather than recent school leavers. Levels of study ranged from basic literacy and numeracy courses to GCSEs and Access courses. The Adult College site on Quarry Road closed in October 2016. Courses are now offered via Lancashire Adult Learning, and are held in various Lancashire County Council owned buildings.
