HistoryThe building was designed as the headquarters of the 5th Volunteer Battalion, The South Wales Borderers and was completed in 1897.[1] This unit evolved to become the 7th Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and ultimately to the Western Front.[3] After the Second World War the battalion converted to become the 636th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment, Royal Artillery (Royal Welch) and then amalgamated with the 635th (Royal Welch) Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery to form the 446th (Royal Welch) Airborne Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery at Caernarfon Barracks in 1955.[2] The Back Lane drill hall was then decommissioned and was subsequently used for local community events including amateur dramatics.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://drillhalls.org/TownNewtown.htm|title=Newtown|publisher=The Drill Hall Project|accessdate=21 August 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060211173115/http://www.regiments.org:80/regiments/uk/volmil-wales/vinf/merimont.htm |title=Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire Volunteers|publisher=Regiments.org|accessdate=21 August 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-infantry-regiments-of-1914-1918/royal-welsh-fusiliers/|title=Royal Welch Fusiliers|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|accessdate=3 July 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.powystheatre.org.uk/history|title=History|publisher=Newtown Amateur Dramatic Society|accessdate=21 August 2017}} 2 : Buildings and structures in Powys|Drill halls in Wales |
