York, Cavalry Baracks, Main Guard 1886

More about this scene
These barracks were built about three years after the Infantry Barracks, but the construction came under much criticism. There were no litter sheds, and horse manure was piled up under the men's room windows. Also, there were no proper urinals for the men to use at night. Not an attraction for new recruits! Thank goodness, these problems were eventually sorted out.
