Former Great War era Drill Hall built to a design by architect George Richardson Smith, South Shields for the Durham County Territorial Association. The drawings are dated 1911-1914 so not clear if built by outbreak of war but shown on mapping dated 1921. Territorial Associations took over responsibility for provision of facilities in 1908 and many old Rifle Volunteer and Militia halls were no longer considered suitable.
