History
Built in 1947 as the new drill hall for the 2nd Volunteer Battalion West Riding Regiment.
Later used as the offices for Kastix, a textile company producing womenswear and children's clothing, which went in to receivership in 2001 with the loss of more than 50 jobs.
There are currently plans to demolish the site to construct an Aldi supermarket.
