Stoughton grew following the opening of the barracks in 1876. It was once the home of the Queen’s Regiment and was a hive of activity during both world wars.

The walk continues around the area with David and Martin giving lots more history facts and interesting stories of the people and places en route returning back to Cardwells Keep.
