"The Barracks" near Parkend - Forest of Dean FHT Forum

I'm not 100% sure but I think 'The Barracks' is so named because it was used by U.S. Army as a barracks in WWII. If so, there must be Parkend people still alive who know.

The buildings do not look like British army barracks. More likely built to accomodate people working for the Mushett's. Bessemer convertors etc.
