HistoryThe building, which is located on the site of a former sugar warehouse and refinery,[1] was financed by George and Henry Wills as part of arrangements to provide alternative accommodation for organisations displaced by the construction of the Wills Memorial Building.[2] The new drill hall was designed as the headquarters of the 4th Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment, who had relocated from the Queen's Road drill hall in Clifton (since demolished),[3] in June 1915.[2][4] The 4th Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment was disbanded in 1940[5] and the drill hall was used instead to accommodate US Army troops who created some adverse publicity for themselves when they became involved in a serious brawl in the street outside the drill hall in July 1944 during the Second World War.[4] After the war the drill hall was decommissioned and fell into disrepair;[6] it has since been converted for residential use.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bgas.org.uk/tbgas_bg/v125/bg125341.pdf|title=Archaeological Review 2006|page=345|publisher=Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society|accessdate=21 August 2017}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.bristol2014.com/assets/files/reading-adventure/Great_Reading_Adventure_Book.pdf|title=Bristol and the First World War|publisher=Great Reading Adventure 2014|page=105|accessdate=25 August 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.1914-1918.net/glos.htm|title=The Gloucestershire Regiment|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|accessdate=29 December 2015}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.drillhalls.org/Counties/Gloucestershire/TownBristol.htm|title=Bristol|publisher=The Drill Hall Project|accessdate=21 August 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/028Glos.htm |title=Gloucestershire Regiment |publisher=Regiments.org |accessdate=29 December 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070303145131/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/028Glos.htm |archivedate=March 3, 2007 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wharchitects.co.uk/portfolio-item/the-old-drill-hall-refurbishment-40-apartments/|title=The Old drill hall, Market Street, Bristol|publisher=WH Architects|accessdate=21 August 2017}} 2 : Buildings and structures in Bristol|Drill halls in England |
