History
William Molyneux, 4th Earl of Sefton first made the site available for the Grand Lancashire Rifle Contest on 29 October 1860.[2] He donated the land to the Volunteer Forces two years later.[2] A railway station was established near the site in 1862 but closed in 1921. The site, which had been known as Altcar Rifle Range, was renamed Altcar Training Camp in 1970.[2] In February 2016 a pavilion was burnt to the ground in a controlled fire to make way for new facilities.[3]
