Priory Road, WARWICK, CV34 4AE

Formerly it housed a backstreet car maintenance business.

Offices in a former drill hall Image have become The Museum of the Queen's Royal Hussars (Churchill's own regiment).

Although a substantial former house fronting Priory Road, behind and to the right of the camera, calls itself 'The Old Drill Hall', this building to the north of it looks more like a drill hall. People working in the building certainly believed that it had been. It first appears on OS 1:2500 County Series maps dated 1913-27. It seems reasonable to surmise that it was built around the start of World War I. Its current address is No.2 Trinity Mews, Priory Road, Warwick CV34 4NA, and is home to a couple of businesses. A first floor has been inserted – the reason for the rooflights. Nothing else is known at the time of writing (July 2014). Earlier maps show a group of buildings around a courtyard garden with a fountain at its centre and glasshouses on its north side. Don Funnell writes, 10 Jan 2016: "yes it was a drill hall at least until the 1960s. My father was a military person there in the 1950s. There was even a .22 rifle range on the site." Update: September 2022. The property has opened as the Museum of the Queen's Royal Hussars (Churchill's own regiment) Image
