It is a Grade II listed building.[1] HistoryThe building was designed by Richard Coad as the headquarters of the 4th West Yorkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps and was built between 1868 and 1870.[1] This unit evolved to become the 1st Volunteer Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment in 1883 and the 4th Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[3] The 4th Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment converted to become the 58th (4th Bn Duke of Wellington's Regiment) Anti-Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1938 and, after service in the Second World War, evolved to become the 382nd (Duke of Wellington's) Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1947; it converted back to form the West Riding Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding) in 1961.[2] However, the presence at the Prescott Street drill hall was reduced to one company, A Company, the West Riding Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding) at that time.[4] This unit evolved to become C Company (The Duke of Wellington's), Yorkshire Volunteers in 1967 and B (The Duke of Wellington's Regiment) Company, 3rd Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding) (Yorkshire Volunteers) in 1993.[4] After the company disbanded in 1999, the drill hall was decommissioned and converted for residential use.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101245575-ta-drill-hall-town-ward#.WaRNcSiGMdU|title=Territorial army Drill Hall, Halifax|publisher=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=28 August 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vinf-no/yw-dwr4.htm|title=4th Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment|publisher=Regiments.org|accessdate=28 August 2017|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051227055759/http://regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vinf-no/yw-dwr4.htm|archivedate=27 December 2005|df=dmy-all}} 3. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.1914-1918.net/dukes.htm |title=Duke of Wellington’s Regiment|publisher=The Long, Long trail|accessdate=10 March 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vinf-no/yw-dwr3.htm|title=The West Riding Battalion|publisher=Regiments.org|accessdate=28 August 2017|deadurl=bot: unknown|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051226182702/http://regiments.org/regiments/uk/volmil-england/vinf-no/yw-dwr3.htm|archivedate=26 December 2005|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.drillhalls.org/Counties/Yorkshire/TownHalifax.htm|title=Halifax|publisher=The Drill Hall Project|accessdate=28 August 2017}} 3 : Buildings and structures in Halifax, West Yorkshire|Drill halls in England|Grade II listed buildings in West Yorkshire |
