What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Home of Tynemouth Volunteer Artillery. This period hall was built by local public subscription for Tynemouth's volunteer gunners founded in 1859 to top the Army list of volunteer artillery formations. Queen Elizabeth II granted the unit's successors the right to the word 'Tynemouth' under Royal Artillery on battle dress - a unique distinction in military annals. Recorded plaque organisation: North Tyneside Council.
