The Lancashire Militia New Depot, at Preston, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Lancashire Militia New Depot, at Preston, 1857. Army facility in Lancashire. This building presents a favourable specimen of the superior accommodation provided of late for our militia force. It has been built as the depot for the 3rd Regiment of the Royal Lancashire Militia, at Preston, under the superintendence of Messrs. Cawley and Radford, of Manchester. The plan contains an armoury, store-room, room for clothing and accoutrements; orderly-room and office; guard-room and five prison cells; and dwelling for thirteen sergeants, to each of whom is allotted forty-two square yards of floor. The bastions flank the several sides of the building, which can thus be easily defended by a few inmates. A spacious yard surrounds the edifice, and sheds are provided under which, in bad weather, the men are drilled'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
