Farewell to Farringdon House

It was with mixed emotions that on the 4th January 2005 210 Squadron said goodbye to its home, Farringdon House. The old TA centre, built in the 1930's, reached the end of its life and has now been demolished. It is to be replaced by a brand new building, scheduled for completion in 2006.

Farringdon House started life as home to the 31st (City of London Rifles) Anti-Aircraft Battalion, Royal Engineers (Headquaters, 324th and 325th Companies) which re-badged to the Royal Artillery in 1940 and served during the Second World War as a searchlight regiment. In 1947 the 566th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment RA was reconstituted into the TA having its Headquarters at Farringdon House and continued in various guises until 1961 when it became part of the 3rd Battalion, The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment, this transferring to The Queen's Regiment in 1966. The last unit of this line to be based at Farringdon House was 'D' (Tangier) Company 6th/7th (Volunteer) Battalion The Queen's Regiment which was disbanded in 1992 when The Queen's Regiment became part of The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment. It was at this time that Farringdon House was handed over to 210 Transport Squadron.
