Conway Street drill hall, Brecon

The building was designed as the headquarters of the 1st (Brecknockshire) Volunteer Battalion, The South Wales Borderers and was completed in the early 20th century.[1] This unit evolved to become the 1st (Brecknockshire) Battalion, The South Wales Borderers in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to India.[3] The battalion amalgamated with the 3rd Battalion, The Monmouthshire Regiment to form 3rd (Brecknockshire and Monmouthshire) Battalion, The Monmouthshire Regiment at the Baker Street drill hall in Abergavenny in 1922.[2] The drill hall was subsequently decommissioned and, although it has recently been substantially rebuilt, it continues to be used as an Army Cadet Force Centre.[4]
