"The Armoury was constructed in 1868 to house the 8th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, re-using some of the stone from the medieval Bury Castle, which partially lies beneath. The façade is one of the most striking in Bury with its contrasting mix of Romanesque arched windows and Gothic detailing including gargoyles, turrets and towers. The drill hall was added in 1907. The gate tower has a large semi-circular arch incorporating a copy of 12th century detailing. Within the archway there is a timber portcullis detail and a coat of arms featuring the Lancashire Fusiliers. The building is still used as a base by the army." This information comes from a Heritage Leaflet, but online there is a website offering the building as a venue for exhibitions and other events, so it seems to have many uses today. It stands on Cooper Street opposite the Parish Church.

The drill hall for the 8th Lancashire (Bury) Rifle Volunteer Corps (the Castle Armoury) was built on the historical site of Bury Castle in 1868. To reflect the 'castle' its façade has a fortified style with features such as castellations, turrets, towers and arrow slits. The Castle Armoury is a Grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 210608 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-210608-castle-armoury- British Listed Buildings)

One of three interactive bee-themed projections across the town as part of the 2015 Bury Light Night event. At the Castle Armouries, the story of the queen bee through the year was animated. Making the hive, surviving the seasons, the arrival of spring and the celebration of nectar were played out across the grade II listed building (see Image] for a "normal" daytime view).
