Drill Hall Antiques Centre, Horncastle
This building has seen many uses. Around 1900, when first built, it was a school. Then, until the New Drill Hall was built, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1409072 it was used by the Horncastle Rifle Volunteers, which incidentally started out in 1859.
Danby & Cheseldine used it next as a coach works and as the building has pig pens outside, it is reasonable to assume they may have upholstered the carriage seats with pig skin. The name, which was painted on the brickwork outside, still remains - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1408937 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1408987

The building was then used as an agricultural store, which I vaguely remember. I think it housed farming equipment for a firm across the road. Whizzkids then made a children's play centre out of it, until it became an antique centre. Horncastle has become something of an Antiques Capital, so this made sense.
With regard to the pig pens. In the 13th century Horncastle's market was established. It became a bustling place, and later, internationally so with horses. Traders also dealt with cattle, sheep and pigs and cattle and sheep pens are still to be seen at the rear of this building. The remains of pigs and sheep sometimes ended up in the canal, (opened in 1759) which is just a few yards away.

South Street, Horncastle
The Drill Hall Antiques Centre was a school, a drill hall, a coach works, an agricultural store and Whizzkids, a play centre.
When Danby & Cheseldine used the place for building horse carriages, I wonder if they upholstered the seats with pig skin as there are pig pens adjacent to the building. The name DANBY & CHESELDINE COACH WORKS still exists, painted on the brickwork outside - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1408987 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1408937 the rear http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1408981
The building at centre was the Castle Inn.

The writing on the wall is, DANBY & CHESELDINE, whose profession was coach building - the horse and carriage type. This building was built as a school, around 1900. It was then used as a drill hall, coach works, agricultural store, play centre and finally antique centre.

Drill Hall Antiques Centre
The west end of the Drill Hall Antiques Centre still shows traces of the painted wall sign of previous occupants: "Danby & Cheseldines Coach Works". The newer brickwork around the large window suggests there was once a large doorway occupying much of the end wall.
