This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only. We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund.

Grade two-listed Bury armoury on the market
Castle Armoury is being sold to raise money for the town�s Fusiliers Museum.

The Bury and Heywood Drill Halls Trust owns the former Army Reserves centre, part of which is grade two-listed, and has appointed Montagu Evans and Nolan Real Estate to market it for sale.

The agents expect interest from a range of buyers due to the site�s town centre location and �unique character�.

The armoury�s partial listed status means that some of the complex will likely be retained and redeveloped. A capacity study carried out by HLM Architecture explores the potential future use of the site and indicates it could be used for residential, hotel, or mixed-use.

A representative from the joint agents said: �Bury Castle Armoury is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly prominent heritage building with real development potential.

�Its position within the town centre, combined with its unique character, makes it well suited to a range of future uses. We anticipate strong interest from a diverse range of buyers seeking to deliver a transformative project.�

Tucked away off Cooper Street and facing the remains of Bury Castle, the armoury as it stands today was constructed over 90-year period beginning in the mid-1800s. The 24,000 sq ft drill hall, the largest part of the complex, was added in the early 1900s and the most recent addition � some ancillary buildings to the rear � were added in the early 1950s.

Proceeds from the sale of the asset would be reinvested in the Fusiliers Museum, according to the owner.

A spokesperson for the vendor said: �This is a rare opportunity to bring a significant heritage asset to the market in a highly accessible town centre location.

�We are seeking a purchaser who can deliver a viable and sensitive scheme that secures a long-term future for the building, while contributing positively to Bury�s regeneration.�
