		Horse Guards parade stands on the tilt-yard of Whitehall Palace, which burned to the ground in 1698.
		Horse Guards, which is to your right when looking at the picture above, was built in 1750 (replacing earlier, smaller buildings) to hose the horse guards and some of the foot guards of the Household Regiments.

		The northern half of the building housed the duty troops of the Household Cavalry while the Foot Guard were housed on the south side with their own small courtyard formed from an area of the old Tiltyard not built upon.
		Horse Guards being considered a military garrison, any attempt by the civil police to deal with disorder was strongly resisted but after being described in a War Office Memo as "to all intents and purposes a common public house, occupied by people of the worst character and low women" it was finally closed in 1850.
		MOVING IN AND BUILDING ON In 1755 the Household Cavalry was the first to move in to the new building, then as now occupying the northern wing with offices and stabling for 62 horses.

		The Foot Guards did this in London from 1755 onwards as part of their daily Guard Mounting on Horse Guards and the ceremonial of the present parade is similar.
		This is not only true with regard to the 'white horse,' 'laurel wreath,' or 'castle and key,' which we are accustomed to see set down in almanacs and the like as the badges of certain corps, for there are frequently other distinguishing features that find no place in such lists.
		It would appear that in the beginning of the last century the appointments of a good many corps displayed the armorial coat or crest of the colonel-in-chief, who was often a member of the aristocracy, and a territorial magnate in some part of the country.
