Kingston House, Shrewsbury

Kingston House is a building in St Alkmund's Place, Shrewsbury.

[3] It became a training facility for "friendless girls in moral danger" in 1872[4] and went on to become the headquarters of the Shropshire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry in the late 19th century.

[5] By the early 20th century the Divisional Troops of the Royal Artillery and the offices of the Shropshire Territorial Force Association were also based in the building.

[6][7] The Shropshire Yeomanry was mobilised from Kingston House in August 1914 before being deployed to Egypt.

[8] After the war the house was decommissioned and converted for commercial use: it is now occupied by a firm of solicitors.
