The photo posted previously with the soldier with fixed bayonet would perhaps be stood at the entrance to the military camp located there..

This is a map showing the camp, for reference the crossroads at centre left between No 2 Camp (men) and Engine Repair Depot is where Meadowhead roundabout is located today...

I've zoomed into the map and put the red arrow where I think he was stood, just between the cottages and the No 1 Camp (men) which perhaps explains his presence (just noticed a Pinfold across the road where they held animals that had escaped from farms, returned upon payment)..

This 1923 OS map shows the camp in more detail...
