Edmund Road Drill Hall

The Edmund Road Drill Hall, built between 1878 and 1879, is a drill hall that has since been converted into a garage and workshops. Designed by ME Hadfield and Sons, with the internal structure by Andrew Handyside of Derby, it features a brick construction with ashlar dressings and roofs made of plain tiles and corrugated iron, showcasing a Tudor Revival style.

The exterior includes a plinth, a first-floor band, a string course, coped gables, and a parapet. The building is two storeys high and has a three-stage tower with a ten-window range. The front windows are adorned with stone mullions. The entrance tower is off-centre and features string courses, machicolated panelled sides, octagonal corner turrets, a crenellated parapet, and a coped corner stack. The pointed arched entrance has a dummy portcullis, wrought-iron gates, and a raised hoodmould. Above the entrance, there is a segment-headed window flanked by lower flat-headed windows, and further up, a recessed panel displaying a coat of arms.

To the left of the entrance, there is a two-storey gabled block with two mullioned windows on the upper floor and two cross-mullioned windows below. Adjacent to this is a hipped single-storey addition featuring a canted bay window. To the right, a two-storey range includes an off-centre external stack, with a single window to the left, a mullioned window to the right, and a six-pane cross-mullioned window to the left. Below, there are two cross-mullion windows, with a segmental pointed door and overlight to the left. To the right of the stack, there are three cross-mullioned windows on each floor. The right return has a smaller external stack flanked by single plain sash windows, with four similar sashes to the right. The lower level features mainly mid-20th century windows and doors.

The main hall at the rear measures approximately 50 by 30 metres and has a clerestory with blocked windows. The left return consists of 13 bays with blind arcades featuring pointed arches, and a gabled two-storey wing towards the left. The right return mainly has segment-headed windows and doors, with a cross-wing to the right displaying primarily late 20th-century fenestration.
