Drill-shed in Burlington Gardens, [London], erected by the South Middlesex Rifle Volunteers, 1862. In our Number for the 18th of January last we gave a picture of fatigue parties of the South Middlesex Rifle Volunteers (Lord Ranelagh's regiment) levelling the ground in Burlington Gardens preparatory to erecting a drill-shed. We now present to our readers a view of the shed which the South Middlesex have erected. It is of corrugated iron, well built (by Mr. Richardson, Euston-road), and 120ft. long by 50 ft. broad, and 11ft. to the eaves. There are windows in the roof and at the sides which give plenty of light in the day, and at night it is brilliantly lighted with gas, the fittings, for which have been furnished and put up by Mr. Warner, of Fleet-street. This is one of the best-covered drill-sheds in London, and must prove a great boon to the metropolitan companies of Lord Ranelagh's regiment, and, indeed, not only to those companies, but to other corps, for his Lordship offers the drill-shed for the use of other metropolitan corps. The London Irish Volunteers have already availed themselves of this offer'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
