Comments | Seaforth Barracks in Claremont Road was opened in 1882 and became a landmark feature in the area. The barracks was originally built for the cavalry and later the War Office turned the barracks into a Royal Artillery Depot. Recruits came from Northern Ireland and North-West England for basic training. In 1961 Crosby Council bought the site from The War Office however, complete take over was not finalised until 1969. |
