The Ewenny Road drill hall is a former military installation in Maesteg, Bridgend, Wales.

History[edit]

The building was designed as the headquarters of the Glamorgan Yeomanry and was completed in the early 20th century.[1] The regiment was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Egypt.[2] After the war the drill hall was decommissioned and converted for industrial use.[3]
