Ta Drill Hall

The building is a drill hall, constructed between 1868 and 1870 as the headquarters of the 4th West Yorkshire Rifle Volunteer Corps. It was designed by R Coad. The exterior is built of dressed stone with ashlar dressings and slate roofs, featuring coped gables and kneelers.

The Prescott Street frontage includes a large drill hall beneath a wide, shallow gable with a Gothic arched corbel table and end buttresses. A projecting, gabled porch sits centrally, featuring a double pointed arched doorway with double plank doors, a decorated tympanum, and a large circular window with octofoil tracery. To either side of the porch are small lancet windows, a pointed arch doorway with a plank door and overlight, and a pair of plain sash windows. A two-storey range is situated to the left, displaying a pointed arch doorway with a plank door and overlight, alongside a three-light and a two-light sash window, each light having a pointed and cusped head. Above is a dormer window with two lancets and a blocked quatrefoil.

The Union Street frontage presents a single-storey hall range with nine windows, alongside a two-window cross wing to the right. A projecting central porch features a blocked pointed archway with a reduced gable. Either side are four windows with buttresses and a triple lancet to each window; the window to the right of the porch includes a 20th-century doorway insertion. A two-storey gabled cross wing is located beyond, with a paired sash window to the left and a doorway with a linked window to the right. Above are two tall, two-light lancet windows with transoms and quatrefoils. A circular window with unusual quatrefoil and small trefoil tracery sits above.

The Clare Street frontage is dominated by a central gabled wing with two large, two-light, pointed arched windows featuring flush plate tracery and upper quatrefoils. A quatrefoil is positioned at the apex of the gable. To either side are blank walls with single gates. To the left is a two-storey block with a through-eaves gabled dormer window. To the right is a two-storey block featuring paired two-light sashes and two large, two-light, pointed arched windows with flush plate tracery and upper trefoils.

The interior contains a single, large drill hall with a viewing gallery to the south, incorporating an original wooden balustrade and a steel tension roof.
