The Philip Dix Centre in Corporation Street, Tamworth was originally the drill hall of C Company 6th North Staffs. Built in 1911, it was opened on 20th December 1911 by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, the Earl of Dartmouth. Now redeveloped with only the frontage remaining, it has a terracotta plaque across its entrance to remind those passing of its origins. Tamworth previously provided a base for C Co. 2VB North staffs, with an 'Armoury, Church street.' (Kelly 1904)
