Former drill hall, Lower Bristol Rd
In World War 1 this was the drill hall of the 4th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry (HQ, A & B Companies). It does not appear to be in use for any purpose now.
[2018 update: not long after this photograph was taken, the building was demolished and a dull-looking block of student accommodation was put in its place.]

The roof is almost gone
The old drill hall now has a little time left before it goes completely. Having served the soldiers of Somerset from the First World War and afterwards the traffic unit of the local police, most of the roof has been dismantled. See Image] for another view.

Peering over the hoardings
The fencing around the old drill hall kept people off the premises for a number of years but is now keeping the public out as it is being demolished. See Image] for another look at the distinctive glazing and http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls for the Drill Hall collection.

History departing
The old drill hall on the Lower Bristol Road is coming to an end. It is on a site of military activity since the 1860s, and was the second hall here. It was opposite the original hall but now looks over the car park of a hotel. See Image] for another view.

Turnpike marker
A well-maintained cast iron turnpike marker on the Lower Bristol Road. The marker actually shows the boundary of local parishes - something important for the toll road. The date of 1827 is one of several Acts of Parliament passed to allow them. See Image] for a wider view.
