RACKET COURT BARRACKS, DEVONPORT

The Racket Court Barracks was located at the rear of Clowance Street, Devonport. They were private dwellings bought by the Government for use as barracks in an emergency but were not calculated for the purpose. 

It apparently derived its name from a court for playing tennis which existed on the site.  The Barracks was sold after the downfall of Napoleon.
