Kelly's Directory, 1893, records 'D Company 4th Volunteer Battalion Devonshire Regiment The Market hall'. In 1914, it records: '6th Battalion Devonshire Regiment (B Co.), Drill hall, Market street. A Drill Hall was erected in 1914 at a cost of about £3,500, and has a rifle range, recreation and lecture rooms, offices &c.'

The drill hall erected in 1914 seems likely to be the present-day Charter Hall.
