Sadly, but perhaps not surprisingly, the Hospital at Aldershot went
through a long period of decline after the Second World War. The stables
were still used but more often than not only as a temporary facility
for visiting mounted regiments whilst stationed in Aldershot. The
Household Cavalry used the stables during the late 1950s and early
1960s and the last group to use the facilities as official barracks
were the RC Transport Mules, who finally disbanded in 1965.
The
stable blocks were taken over by the Royal Military Police; the
Police left in 1995 and handed over the remaining stable blocks
to the Garrison Stable Club.
The
Infirmary Stables and Veterinary Hospital in effect ceased to operate
in 2000 when the Garrison Stable Club left the site; the land was
sold to Beaumont Village in 2000.
