Castle Armoury, Victorian military building in Bury, England.
The Castle Armoury features two towers rising above battlemented parapets, with thirty round-headed windows arranged in pairs and threes along its stone walls.
Built in 1868 as headquarters for the 8th Lancashire Rifle Volunteer Corps, the structure incorporates materials from the former Bury Castle at this location.
The building represents an essential part of Lancashire's military heritage, serving as a training facility for soldiers throughout multiple conflicts since Victorian times.
Located on Castle Street in Bury, the Grade II listed building requires substantial repairs estimated at 2 million pounds to address current structural concerns.
The entrance displays a distinctive portcullis bearing the battalion insignia, while arrow slits and corbel tables demonstrate medieval architectural influences.
