The building is designated by Historic England as a Grade II listed building.[1] HistoryThe building was designed by James Harrison as the headquarters of the 6th Cheshire Rifle Volunteers who relocated from the cockpit outside Newgate in 1868.[2] The drill hall was also used by elements of the Royal Garrison Artillery.[3] The 6th Cheshire Rifle Volunteers evolved to become the 2nd Earl of Chester's Volunteer Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment in 1883 and the 5th (Earl of Chester's) Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment in 1908.[4] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[5] The battalion amalgamated with the 4th Battalion to form the 4th/5th (Earl of Chester's) Battalion at the Grange Road West drill hall in Birkenhead in 1921.[4] The Volunteer Street drill hall itself, being surplus to requirements, was demolished in 1983 but the facade was retained to create the frontage for some residential apartments in a building which is now known as Albion Mews.[3] References1. ^{{National Heritage List for England|num= 1376042|desc= Albion Mews|access-date= 3 December 2017|mode=cs2}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/0c5b3a11-d143-4b16-8b37-16fa14d6b01c|title=Chester Rifle and Artillery Volunteer Corps|publisher=National Archives|accessdate=18 August 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.drillhalls.org/Counties/Cheshire/TownChestercorrupt.htm|title=Chester|publisher=The Drill Halls Project|accessdate=13 August 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/022Ches.htm |title=The Cheshire Regiment |publisher=regiments.org |accessdate=11 July 2016 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061231053245/http://www.regiments.org/regiments/uk/inf/022Ches.htm |archivedate=31 December 2006 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-infantry-regiments-of-1914-1918/cheshire-regiment/|title=Cheshire Regiment|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|accessdate=18 December 2016}} 3 : Drill halls in England|Buildings and structures in Chester|Grade II listed buildings in Chester |
