York, Infantry Barracks, The Armoury 1886
Photo ref:

More about this scene
York was a military centre, and over 1,000 men were stationed here when the barracks were built. They had their own hospital and a soldiers' institute. Tower Street housed the armoury for the West Yorkshire Volunteer Artillery, and the York Volunteer Rifles were in St Andrewgate. The soldiers' superior officer has let them stand at ease for the camera!
