The Poyser Street drill hall is a former military installation in Wrexham, Wales.

History

The building was designed as the headquarters of the 1st Volunteer Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers and was completed in 1902.[1] It was opened by Field Marshal Lord Roberts in April 1903.[1] The 1st Volunteer Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers evolved to become the 4th (Denbighshire) Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front during the First World War[3] and the drill hall was used by the Home Guard during the Second World War.[4] The 4th (Denbighshire) Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers evolved to become the 3rd (Volunteer) Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers, while still based at the Poyser Street drill hall, in 1971.[2] However, in July 1988, a new Territorial Army Centre opened at Hightown Barracks for use by the battalion and the Poyser Street drill hall was decommissioned and converted for industrial use.[5]
