Drill Hall

The Drill Hall in Helston, likely built between 1838 and 1839, features painted rubble walls and an asbestos slate roof that follows the slope of the building. It has a granite ashlar pedimented gable at the front, which includes a Venetian window with glazing bars. The hall is a single-storey structure with a deep plan. On the right-hand (courtyard) side, there are five round-arched doorways with spoked concentric fanlights, alternating with four Venetian windows that are similar to those on the gable. The left-hand side has similar architectural features, while the rear includes a boarded Venetian window. Inside, the original King-post roof structure can be seen where inspected. The Drill Hall was originally part of the market complex and is part of a notable group of buildings that includes the guildhall and the market hall, which is now the Museum.
