Everton Road drill hall, Liverpool


The Everton Road drill hall is a former military installation in Liverpool.

History

The building was designed as a drill hall for the 19th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers by connecting three double-fronted Georgian houses in 1884. This unit went on to become the 6th Volunteer Battalion, the King's in 1888 and the 9th Battalion, the King's in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. After the regiment was absorbed into the 55th Divisional Royal Engineers in 1920, the drill hall was decommissioned and became disused. It has been occupied by the Red Triangle Karate Club since around 1990.
