This unused building, which proudly carries the Staffordshire knot on its facade, was obviously built in the days when Walsall was part of Staffordshire, not the artificial and meaningless construct created in the 1970's now called the 'West Midlands'. Mark Powell adds, "Former drill hall of the 5th battalion South Staffordshire Regiment Territorial Army. Later a night club called the fifth."
