The Titchfield Street drill hall is a former military installation in Kilmarnock.
The building was designed by Gabriel Andrew & Son as the headquarters of the 4th Battalion, The Royal Scots Fusiliers and completed in 1914.[1] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and then to the Western Front.[2] The battalion amalgamated with the 5th Battalion to form the 4th/5th Battalion at the drill hall in Ayr in 1921 although a company remained at the Titchfield Street drill hall until the 4th/5th Battalion was disbanded in 1967.[3] The building was also the home of C Squadron of the Ayrshire (Earl of Carrick's Own) Yeomanry until the squadron was disbanded in 1967.[4]
The building was taken over the Kilmarnock and District Model Railway Club in 1971[5] and has since been converted for retail use, most recently as a restaurant.[6]
