Kelly's Directory mentions Fore Street Drill Hall in 1889. Later, in 1893, it records: 'The head quarters of the E Company 5th Volunteer (Hay Tor) Battalion Devonshire Regiment are in Fore street; number of men about 90. There is a spacious armoury belonging to this company, and about 2 miles south of the town an excellent range, 1,000 yards in extent.'

Exact location of the Drill Hall marked on the 1904-06 Ordnance Survey map is uncertain, but it seems likely to be that shown as 'PW' (Place of Worship) on the 2014 MasterMap.
