Looking across Botanic Road towards the drill hall for 4th West Lancashire Howitzer Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (7th and 8th Howitzer Batteries). The drill hall was built around 1900 on the large garden plot behind a sandstone farmhouse called The Grange, which I assume was used by the officers. The large opening would have always existed for access to the hall, but it seems to have been heightened in more recent times as the obvious girder, and poor brickwork repairs higher up, contrast badly with the original fine Victorian brickwork.
