The Armoury is quite a grand building that started life as an Armoury (strangely enough) in the late 18th century, although it originally wasn’t situated on its present site at all. The whole building was moved lock, stock and barrel (to use an appropriate metaphor) in 1922, from the Armoury Gardens, because immediately after the First World War, building materials were hard to come by, and they recycled what they had. It has served various purposes in its life, having most recently been a bakery.
