History
The Grange, which was then an old sandstone farmhouse, was acquired by the War Office in 1900 for use as the regimental headquarters of an artillery regiment.[1] During World War I it was home to the 349th (4th West Lancashire) Howitzer Brigade and during World War II it was home to the 59th (4th West Lancashire) Medium Brigade.[1] It was used by 4th Battalion, Parachute Regiment from 1993 until 1999.[2] The Grange then became a museum for the Liverpool Scottish regiment until it closed in 2008.[3]
