'G' 4 King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
Yorkshire Light Infantry (4th Battalion) G Company – Bradford Road West
Kelly, 1912, confirms the Bradford road west address. The TA ceased use of the building in about 1973/4 (to be confirmed). The drill hall became the Yorkshire Fire Museum, now demolished. There is now a supermarket car park on the site. [2008]
The photograph in the newspaper cutting shows the ‘old’ drill hall in Batley. This was demolished over two decades ago and a supermarket stands on the site.
The activities of the drill hall were transferred to Intake Lane, Birstall, along with a company of the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry.
There is a photograph of the Intake Lane drill hall on the
Birstall page.
Thank you to Roger Thompson for the information.
