Sefton Barracks|
|
There was a volunteer corps belonging originally
to the Mersey Forge and known as the Regimental VIII, or more popularly as Clay's Artillery. Its original H.Q. was in some sheds at the bottom of Beresford Road. In 1859 this regiment became the 8th Lancashire Artillery Volunteers, (LAV). By
1869 the Slater's directory shows that the HQ was in Sefton Street, at that time the
Lieutenant Colonel was William Clay. It is presumed that this was the same Clay
that gave it's original name. The Majors now were George Swainson and Charles
Inman and Adjutant was L.K.Furlong. |
