Bath stone fireplace salvaged from Bridge End House at Erskine Barracks, Wilton, 1900 (c)

This fireplace was removed from Bridge End House ('Building 49') at Erskine Barracks, Wilton in Wiltshire, when it was demolished in the spring of 2001. The building had been in use as the Stationmaster's House and as an administrative block for United Kingdom Land Force (UKLF).

In 1995, Erskine Barracks became the Headquarters for Land Command, which assumed most of the responsibilities previously undertaken by UKLF along with responsibility for the British forces in Germany following the disestablishment of the Headquarters British Army of the Rhine.

The role of Land Command was to sustain the Army's operational capability in Great Britain and abroad. It controlled all the Army's fighting troops throughout the World including both the regular and Territorial Army, or about 75 percent of all British troops. Land Command is one of the three major commands in the British Army, the other two being the Adjutant General (with responsibility for administration, personnel and training) and the Quartermaster General (responsible for supply and logistics).
