Osborne (2006) records the presence of a Yeomanry drill hall and stables, replaced after the Second World War by a modern Territorial Army Centre. The 3rd edition OS map marks buildings surrounding three sides of a yard. At that time the building (now on Chalmers Road) was entered from Belmont Avenue.
It is not clear which units were based in the drill hall in the First World war.
