Army Riding School, Military training facility in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Army Riding School building features a rectangular layout with Victorian architectural elements and large training spaces for equestrian activities.
Architect John Dobson designed this military installation in 1849 for the Northumberland and Newcastle Volunteer Corps of Cavalry training purposes.
The facility transformed from a cavalry training center to an information technology center and lecture theatre for Northumbria University law school.
Located on Northumberland Road, the Grade II listed structure maintains its original exterior features while serving modern educational functions.
During the 1921 Miners strike, the Army Riding School functioned as an operational headquarters for military response coordination.
