Tower Street drill hall, Military museum in Tower Street, York, England
The Victorian building houses extensive collections from the Royal Dragoon Guards and the Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire through multiple exhibition halls.
The drill hall, constructed in 1885, served as headquarters for the East Riding of Yorkshire Artillery Volunteers before becoming the Yorkshire Hussars base.
The exhibitions present medals, uniforms, weapons, and photographs depicting the evolution of British military forces through different time periods and conflicts.
The museum remains open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with guided tours available for groups upon advance reservation.
The Heritage Lottery Fund supported an expansion of the museum, which received a visit from the Duke of York in May 2015.
