Summary
[edit]DescriptionBoston Road, Horncastle - geograph.org.uk - 1409072.jpg |
English: Boston Road, Horncastle This former Town Hall is the former New Drill Hall. It was built in 1901, the foundation stone being laid by Right Honorable The Earl of Yarborough, The Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master of Lincolnshire with full Masonic Ceremonial on Thursday the 13th Day of June. Public donations raised most of the money to build the hall, which cost £2,500. The Horncastle Rifle Volunteers used the premises, which included a rifle range for the practice of firing .22 rifles, and a sergeant/caretakers house.
In WWI the building was used as a Red Cross Hospital and in WWII, for the rest and rehabilitation of servicemen. It wasn't until 1970 that the Drill Hall became a Town Hall and it is now sadly awaiting demolition. I don't think I have a photograph of the hall before it was boarded up and if Richard Croft hadn't given me a nudge, I may well forgotten to take one. The shot was taken from Hangman's Corner.
