1st South Midland Mounted Brigade Company Army Service Corps.

Birmingham’s suburb of Sparkbrook housed the premises of 1st South Midland Mounted Brigade Company Army Service Corps. The buildings still stand in Taunton Road, now a cash-and-carry warehouse with no trace of its military past, but the style of architecture is reminiscent of Bromsgrove’s double-fronted drill hall. This unit was listed in Cornish’s 1912 Birmingham Yearbook at a temporary address of 158 Stoney lane, but the following year at the ‘new drill hall, Taunton road.’
